From View message header detail Carla Mulford <cjm5@psu.edu> Sent Saturday, November 7, 2009 3:02 pm To H-OIEAHC@H-NET.MSU.EDU Subject New Teaching Volume on Franklin's Autobiography Colleagues: A new volume in the MLA's Approaches to Teaching series is under way for teaching Benjamin Franklin's _Autobiography_. Below, I'm forwarding a message from David Nichols, Director of MLA's Book Publications, in case you might be interested in helping out with the volume by participating in the editors' survey and/or suggesting a topic you would consider worth covering in the volume. You do not have to be a member of MLA to complete the survey and/or to contribute to the volume. Best wishes, Carla Mulford Message from David Nichols sent to members of the MLA Division of American Lit to 1800: I write on behalf of the MLA Publications Committee to ask for your help in an important professional project. We are beginning preparation of the volume Approaches to Teaching Franklin's Autobiography, edited by Carla Mulford and Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, and would very much like you to participate. We ask, first, that you respond to a brief questionnaire available on the MLA Web site at www.mla.org/approaches. We are particularly interested in your response to the final item concerning whether you would be willing to contribute an essay to the volume. Like other books published in the Approaches to Teaching series, this one will contain not only a discussion of the most important and useful materials available to the teacher of Franklin's Autobiography but also a selection of essays by instructors. We hope that you will be willing to share with other colleagues your experience in teaching Franklin's Autobiography. The questionnaire will be available on the Web site until 15 February 2010, and all responses will be transmitted directly to the volume's editors. You are receiving this message because you are a member of a division or discussion group whose members we believe would be interested in contributing to this volume, and we encourage you to pass it along to other colleagues who you think might also be interested. We would appreciate whatever assistance you can offer to this project and look forward to hearing from you. Cordially, David G.
