    CALL FOR PAPERS: Women in Nineteenth-Century American Theatre

    In connection with the work done by the University of Malaga Research Group
    on American Theatre, We invite submissions of manuscripts for a collection
    of critical essays on women in nineteenth-century American theatre; the aim
    of the collection is to recover nineteenth-century women’s contribution to
    the development of American theatre and give them the space they deserve.
    Contributions should offer a broader picture of what devoting your life to
    the theatre, in one way or another, meant for women by examining how theatre
    was viewed by women and how women in the theatre were viewed by society.
    Possible topics include (but are not limited to):

    - women playwrights (either biographies or analyses of their work). We are
    particularly interested in lesser known dramatists who are not usually
    anthologized.
    - women critics
    - dramatization of novels (either the novel or its dramatization should be
    written by a woman)
    - actresses
    - women managers
    - women spectators

    No more than one essay per person.
    Required length: 6000 to 7500 words.
    MLA format strictly required

    Enquiries and completed essays (one hard copy + disk) should be submitted to
    the editors at the following addresses by 30 June 2002:

    Dr Miriam Lopez & Dr Lola Narbona
    Departamento de Filología Inglesa
