“VICTORIAN TRAVEL & TRAVELERS”
We invite proposals for 20 minute papers or for panels of
four papers on all aspects of travel during the Victorian period,
as part of the seventh annual conference of the Victorian Interdisciplinary
Studies Association of the Western United States (VISAWUS).
Papers might address such topics as the visual culture of travel,
travel journals & writings, spas & spa culture, music & travel,
science/medicine & travel, literature of the sea, guidebooks,
grand tour, maritime history, souvenirs of travel, immigration
& emigration, etc. Papers are invited by scholars working in
any relevant discipline (or in combinations thereof).
The conference, which takes place on 10-12 October 2002,
is being hosted by Boise State University, Boise, Idaho. Our
general theme relates to all aspects of "Victorian Institutions,"
such as the Colonial Office, the literary establishment, the
army, the church (or churches), schools and education, aesthetic
taste, the periodical press, etc.
The keynote speaker will be Linda K. Hughes, Addie Prof.
of English at TCU. Her two recent books on serial fiction, “The
Victorian Serial” and “Victorian Publishing and Mrs. Gaskell's
Work,” have already become standard in the field. She has also
published on Tennyson (“The Many-faced Glass”), Henley (“Strange
Bedfellows: W.E. Henley and Feminist Fashion History”) and biography
(“Biographical Passages”), and is a regular contributor to leading
Victorian studies journals.
Please submit abstracts of about 200 words to Arnold Schmidt,
