CALL FOR PAPERS (essay collection)
Transatlantic Stowe: Essays on Harriet Beecher Stowe and the
Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture of Western Europe
Harriet Beecher Stowe is of course a central figure in studies of American
literature and culture, but her literary and literal forays abroad also make
her important to the history of nineteenth-century transatlantic exchanges,
and particularly to those between Britain and America. Despite the fact
that transatlantic contact is at the center of critical interest at the
moment, specifically in relation to what Paul Gilroy calls "The Black
Atlantic," Stowe's literary and political relationships with writers and
activists abroad remain largely unexplored. This proposed collection of
essays will focus on Stowe in a transatlantic context by examining her role
in European reading and publishing history; her reading of Edgeworth,
Dickens, and Scott; her literary friendships with George Eliot and others;
transatlantic debates over race, slavery, and abolition; nineteenth-century
travel writing; Lady Byron Vindicated and Agnes of Sorrento; and
Anglo-American political, cultural and social relations. We would like this
collection itself to be transatlantic and interdisciplinary, and therefore
welcome essays from scholars in all disciplines from around the world.
Deadlines: 1- to 2-page proposals by *June 22, 2001* (note new deadline);
completed essays due October 1, 2001. Please send proposals and/or address
