The Influence of Children's Literature. Submissions are invited for a
collection of essays on the influence of children's literature on writers for
adults. Writers for adults are generally acknowledged to be deeply
influenced by their childhood reading, both in theme and technique; I invite
proposals or completed articles that investigate the way in which childhood
reading is internalized and then constantly transformed. (For example,
Hemingway acknowledged a debt to Treasure Island; how has his love for this
book affected his work stylistically or thematically?) Both scholarly
treatments of such influences and essays from creative writers themselves
will be included. Send abstracts (with working titles) or completed papers
by 30 October, 2002, to Betty Greenway, Dept. of English, Youngstown State
University, One University Plaza, Youngstown, OH 44555. E-mail queries
welcome (bettygreenway@aol.com).
