    I'm seeking abstracts for a special session on Gothic literature and
    travel writing at the 10th Annual Central New York Conference on Language
    and Literature, at SUNY Cortland, October 29-31st, 2000.

    This panel seeks to explore the various border-crossings between Gothic
    literature and travel writing (generic, geographic, political, narrative,
    to name just a few). Most Gothic novels feature at least one journey
    through countryside that may be ruinous or bountiful, menacing or
    welcoming, Mediterranean, Apline, or English/Irish, but is always
    exotic. Similarly, many travel accounts feature descriptions of castles,
    landscape, local people and customs which echo their Gothic
    counterparts. What is the relationship between Gothic and travel
    writing? (siblings? step-sisters? cousins?)

    Please send 1-2 page abstracts, or completed papers, by July 1st to:

    Kellie Donovan Wixson
    Tufts University
    Department of English
    Medford, MA 02155
    kwixson@emerald.tufts.edu

    email abstract submissions welcome; please cut and paste your abstract
    into the body of your email message (our institutional email system does
    not handle attachments very well).

    Please be sure to include an address/email address where you can be
    reached in July and August.
