Dear All
Expressions of interest are invited for a new collection of essays
on Mesmerism and Literature. The collection will focus on literary
representations of mesmerism and mesmeric phenomena in the
Victorian period and may include the themes and authors listed
below. These lists are far from exclusive and potential contributors are
invited to interpret 'mesmerism and literature' broadly.
Themes: gender, empire, science, the occult, mediumship,
the new woman, the public, spiritualism
Authors: Charles Dickens, Harriet Martineau, Richard Marsh, Rider
Haggard, Oscar Wilde, Grant Allen, George du Maurier, Nathanael
Hawthorne, Honore de Balzac.
The collection is currently seeking a publisher and therefore asks
for expressions of interest only, in order to give any prospective
publisher an exemplary contents list.
Please email a title and 200 word summary of your paper (final
length to be 6-8 thousand words) by July 31, 2000 to BOTH editors:
Catherine Wynne, University of Hull at Scarborough
(catherine.wynne@ucscarb.ac.uk)
and
Martin Willis, University College Worcester
(m.willis@worc.ac.uk)
