For thirty-five summers,
the Mythopoeic Society has celebrated mythopoeic
scholarship at its annual conference. It has fostered the
development of this discipline, and has encouraged many
persons in their academic endeavors. This milestone
conference will examine the quality, the depth and breadth
of mythopoeic scholarship as it has developed since
Mythcon I, both within the Society and in academia in
general.
