Deadline Extension
"American Women Poets of the New Republic"
Society for the Study of American Women Writers (SSAWW)
First International Conference
San Antonio, Texas
Feb. 14-18, 20001
I am currently looking for a third panelist for the proposed panel on
American women poets of the New Republic for the SSAWW conference. To this
end, I am extending the deadline to JULY 24, 2000.
This panel will explore a generation of largely overlooked American women
poets writing at the end of the eighteenth century. Topics might include
(but are not limited to): The relationship of public and private genres to
the current cultural and political preoccupations ofthe New Republic; the
role of the salon, manuscript culture, and sororal networks; approaches to
poetic authorization and the role of women poets to the project of
nation-building.
Possible poets might include: Ann Eliza Bleecker, Mercy Otis Warren, Annis
Boudinot Stockton, Elizabeth Graeme Ferguson, Sarah Wentworth Morton, Anna
Young Smith, Judith Sargent Murray, Phillis Wheatley and Susannah Rowson.
Please submit a 250 word abstract and contact information (preferably by
e-mail) by July 24, 2000 to:
