CALL FOR PAPERS: Mary Butts
Nathalie Blondel's recent biography of Mary Butts as well as the
republication of Butts' major works of fiction (Ashe of Rings, Armed with
Madness, The Death of Felicity Tavener, The Macedonian), her autobiography
(The Crystal Cabinet 1988), and two collections of short fiction have
provided much needed focus on an author whose work has been overshadowed by
her more famous contemporaries: Woolf, Eliot, Lawrence, Joyce, and Ford, to
name a few. Influenced in part by Blake, ancient myth, and "magic", Butts
explores the "condition of the sacred in the modern world" in often
surprising ways.
I am seeking critical essays which address Butts' treatment of this theme in
her work. My goal is to compile these essays and propose a collection which
will provide much needed scholarship on an important figure in modern
British letters.
Please submit 250-500 word abstracts and brief c.v. by 11/30/01 to
the following e-mail address: eng_teb@shsu.edu
Please use the following subject line: Collection proposal
If accepted, deadline for papers of 20-25 pages will be 1/15/02.
