Millennial Crossroads: Navigating the Future of Our Past
The annual conference on Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century British
Women
Writers welcomes proposals for its eighth meeting, to be held September
24-26,
1999 at the Sheraton Old Town, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The theme of
this
year's conference will be "Millennial Crossroads: Navigating the Future
of Our
Past."
The conference is devoted to expanding the literary canon and to
developing critical
and theoretical understandings of women's writing traditions in
literary, medical,
political, legal, religious, and scientific discourses. Anne K. Mellor,
Mary Poovey,
and Jane Spencer will be this year's keynote speakers.
While scholarship on all aspects of Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century
British
Women Writers is welcome, we especially encourage papers on the
following:
recovering lost traditions, genres, writers, texts
textual and technical issues in the recovery of women's texts
women and the publishing marketplace, then and now
canon (re)formation
women writers and medicine, politics, law, religion, the sciences
reconstructing female identity/ideology from "literary" texts
