'The Modernist Atlantic' is the first of two international conferences organised by the Modernist Magazines Project, directed by Peter Brooker (University of Nottingham) and Andrew Thacker (De Montfort University), and funded by the AHRC. Although the study of modernism has been revolutionised over the last decade it is only recently been recognised that periodical publications made a distinctive contribution to the modernist movement. This conference aims to address the role of magazines in the construction of modernism, focussing upon magazines in Britain, Ireland and North America. Papers are invited on the following themes:
studies of individual magazines; studies of individual writers and artists in magazines; archives; serialisation; the short story in magazines; metropolitan and regional cultures; coteries and salons; advertising; visual culture; gender and publishing; race/nationalism/identities; technologies, typists, typefaces; circulation, censorship and readership; patronage; editors; manifestoes and movements; the avant-garde; tradition and the new; 'little' and 'large' magazines; popular and mainstream; transnationalism and geomodernisms; small presses and printers.

Tim Berners-Lee confirmed as plenary speaker
Tim Berners-Lee is the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, a Senior Researcher at MIT where he leads the Decentralized Information Group, and a Professor of Computer Science at University of Southampton. While working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory, he invented the World Wide Web. It was there where he wrote the first Web client (a combination of browser and editor) and the first Web server. His original specifications of URLs, HTTP and HTML were widely adopted and refined as Web technology spread. In 2001 he became a fellow of the Royal Society, and more recently he received the 2007 Charles Stark Draper Prize, given by the National Academy of Engineering (US). His plenary talk will take place on Wednesday May 9 at WWW2007.
