CALL FOR PAPERS: VICTORIAN WRITING//VICTORIAN ART
The William Morris Society in the US seeks proposals for a session at the
2000 MLA annual convention, to be held 27-30 December in Washington, DC.
The topic, "Victorian Writing/Victorian Art," can be interpreted to encompass
Victorian writers who wrote art criticism or included "art" as a theme in
their verse, drama, or fiction, also Victorian artists (and architects and
designers) who wrote critically, theoretically, or imaginatively. William
Morris is, of course, the primary figure who comes to mind here, but papers
dealing with John Ruskin (remember, 2000 marks the centenary of his death),
Walter Pater, various Rossettis, A.W.N. Pugin, Mary Haweis, Emilia Dilke,
Walter Crane, William Burges, Arthur Mackmurdo, W.R. Lethaby, William Bell
Scott, James McNeill Whistler, Julia Cartwright, Vernon Lee, and others who
fit into these rubrics are also welcome.
Participation by independent scholars and non-academics is especially
desired, but please be aware that to take part in the convention and to be
listed in the program speakers must be members of the Modern Language
Association by 1 April unless not engaged in the teaching of literature or
language.
Papers are strictly limited to 15 minutes; as per MLA regulations, session
chairs can stop those who go on too long.
Proposals (one page) by 20 March to
