I am soliciting papers for a special session to be held during the 2002
ASECS (American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies) Annual Meeting.
The special session will investigate how religious discourse and religious
movements created new ways for women to assert social and political power
during the long 18th century. While women operated only on the margins of
institutionalized religion during the period, casuistical treatises,
devotional writings, and religiously-motivated social reform movements
often created spaces in which women could challenge, question, and
redefine their individual and collective place in the social order. This
session seeks papers that explore the intersections of gender, religion,
and the social order in literary and non-literary texts, including
religious treatises, political pamphlets, plays and novels.
Please send 300-word abstracts (and direct queries) to Bonnie Gunzenhauser
by September 15
