The current issue of Victorian Studies (49.2: Winter 2007) is a special issue devoted to the 2006 NAVSA/NASSR joint conference at Purdue University. In this annual tradition, Victorian Studies asks three "scouts" to pick out three papers from the conference that somehow capture a vital area of interest. This year, Deidre Lynch chose papers on "Matters of Memory," Tracy C. Davis focused on "Drama in Practice," and Cannon Schmitt explored "Form at the Limits."
