This is a call for papers for the panel, ³William Caxton and the Materials
of Literary Culture² to run at the Twelfth International Congress of the New
Chaucer Society Congress on 14-17 July 2000, at Senate House of the
University of London
This session will explore the relationships between fifteenth-century print
production and the consolidation of the English literary canon. In what
ways does Caxton's reproduction of existing texts produce new ideological
formations about nationalism, subjecthood and literary authority? How does
Caxton's introduction of a change in the mode of textual production indicate
a change in the mode of consumption? More broadly, how does a renewed
examination of Caxton's work with the press complicate the current debate on
the canon formation?
Please send 300 word abstracts by (or close to) August 15th.
