Marcella (album)

Marcella is the debut studio album by British-based American musician Marcy Levy, who in her later career would perform under the name Marcella Detroit.

Background

Detroit aka Levy began working on her debut solo album with producer David Foster in the mid-1970s signed to RSO Records, whilst she was touring with Eric Clapton. The album was primarily an R&B-oriented record, which Detroit felt was an attempt to "pigeonhole" her by RSO Records. For unknown reasons, the album was not finished. Detroit later stopped touring with Clapton to focus more on her own solo career. Whilst working on singing and songwriting for numerous artists including Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, Chaka Khan, Belinda Carlisle, and Al Jarreau, she was also working on her own solo album, and Marcella was finally released in 1982 and failed to appear on any major charts. After the commercial failure of the album, Epic Records refused her tour allowance with John Mellencamp, and she was later dropped by the label.

Marcella (novel)

Marcella is a novel by Mary Augusta Ward, first published in 1894.

Association for the Study of Literature and Environment

The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE) is the principal professional association for American and international scholars of ecocriticism. It was founded in 1992 at a special session of the Western Literature Association conference in Reno, Nevada for the purpose of "sharing of facts, ideas, and texts concerning the study of literature and the environment." The current president of ASLE is Paul Outka of the University of Kansas. The next conference will be held May 28 - June 1, 2013, at University of North Texas, Denton, TX.

The association hosts a biennial conference and publishes an official journal—Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment (ISLE) —in which the most current scholarship in the rapidly evolving field of ecocriticism can often be found.

ASLE now has branches or related organisations: ASLE-UKI (UK and Ireland); ASLE-Japan; ASLE-India, ASLE-Korea, and ASLE-Taiwan. Other affiliates have altered the acronym to better reflect the scope of ecocriticism. They include ALECC (Canada), EASLCE (Europe) and ASLEC-ANZ (Australia and New Zealand). ASLE-UKI publishes the journal Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism, ALECC publishes the 'Journal of Ecocriticism' (JoE) under the online Open Journal system http://ojs.unbc.ca/index.php/joe; and ASLEC-ANZ publishes 'AJE: Australasian Journal of Ecocriticism and Cultural Ecology', through the online Open Journal system. It is sponsored by National Library of Australia, http://www.nla.gov.au/openpublish/index.php/aslec-anz.
