[Comedias] Correction

[AHCT Listserv]

Dear Spanish Golden Age Drama Enthusiasts:
This is to alert you that the email address listed in the January 2015 AHCT
Newsletter for submission of abstracts for the 16th- and 17th- Century
Spanish and Iberian Drama sessions at the 2016 MLA Convention is *incorrect*
. *Abstracts should not be sent to José Cartagena, but to María Mercedes
Carrión at mcarrio at emory.edu <mcarrio at emory.edu>.* *The deadline for
abstracts is March 14, 2015.* I apologize for any inconvenience this may
have caused for submitters and organizers; an updated, official CFP appears
below.
Sincerely,
Chris Gascón
Recording Secretary
AHCT
