CALL FOR PAPERS
Society of Early Americanists - Second Biennial Conference
Norfolk, Virginia
March 8 - 10, 2001
Deadline: September 15, 2000
PANEL - "Sectarian Sisters: Relocation and Revelation in Women's
Personal Narratives"
This panel addresses the ways in which sectarian women used personal
narratives to express moments of transition and trepidation in their
lives. Dissenting protestant groups like the Moravians and Quakers
encouraged the recording of spiritual and secular experiences across
gender boundaries in forms such as diaries, lebenslauf, spiritual
autobiographies, and travel narratives. Panelists may explore
perceptions of space and landscape in colonial America, changes in
agency through spatial/social mobility, and the intersections between
the secular and sacred and the public and private in women's narratives.
Papers focusing on travel accounts and/or ecocritical approaches are
encouraged.
