John H. O’Neill, Edmund A. LeFevre Professor of English Emeritus, presented a paper titled “Resolving Les liaisons dangereuses:  Ideas of Justice and the Language of Film” in March at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies in San Antonio, Texas.

At the same meeting, O’Neill chaired a section on “The Eighteenth Century on Film” and took part in a staged reading and discussion of three early short plays by Jane Austen:  “A Comedy,” “The Mystery” and “The Visit.”
