Call for Papers for proposed Special Session for the 1999 MLA Conference
in Chicago.
Gender and Political Agency in 19C Women's Writing
This panel addresses the ways in which writings by women such as
Mary Wollstonecraft, Caroline Norton, Margaret Oliphant, or Frances
Power Cobbe played a key role in locating, defining, and contesting
concepts of the legal subject in Victorian England. How did women
writers of the period engage with fundamental questions of selfhood
and equal access to political entitlements? In what ways did women
advocate for recognition and security, both of self and of property,
from political and social institutions?
Abstracts of one or two pages due March 22 to Sarah Dredge
(blhw@musicb.mcgill.ca) or Colene Bentley (bsq9@musicb.mcgill.ca),
or by fax at 514-398-8146.
