Literary London: Representations of London in Literature
Goldsmiths College, University of London, 5th to 7th July 2002
This conference aims to:
-Investigate the changing cultural and historical geography of London.
-Place literary texts in relation to their historical and social context and
to theoretical
approaches to the study of place and development of the metropolis.
-Consider the social, political and spiritual fears, hopes and perceptions
that have inspired representations of London.
-Trace different traditions of representing London.
-How the pluralism of London literature is reflected in London society.
Papers are invited from any period and genre of English literature about or
set in London. While the main focus of the conference will be on literary
texts, we actively encourage interdisciplinary contributions relating film,
architecture, geography, theories of urban space, etc., to literary
representations of London.
Papers from postgraduate students are welcome for consideration.
Abstracts of 200 words for a 20 -– 30 minute paper by 28th February 2002.
Guest and plenary speakers to be announced.
