SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY
OF AMERICAN WOMEN WRITERS
September 24-27, 2003
Fort Worth, TX
Stowe Society Panel
Panel Theme:
Stowe and the Family
The Stowe Society invites proposals for papers that look at any aspect of
Stowe's representations of the family in her writing or that look at
Stowe's relationships with her own family members. The concept of family
clearly played an important role in shaping Stowe's personal and public
life and plays an equally important role in her fiction and
nonfiction. Papers might want to explore but are not limited to the
following issues: How did Stowe see the family as a social, political, and
cultural icon for nineteenth-century America? How are families an agent for
change and yet also changed by their societies? What are Stowe's "family
values"? What makes families functional and dysfunctional? How do different
aspects of religion, race, region, gender, and class shape families? What
is the individual's relationship to the family as a whole? What is the
relationship between the family and the world of work? The Stowe Society
welcomes papers that emphasize literary, cultural, historical, material,
and/or biographical approaches. Papers should be about 15 to 20 minutes to
allow time for a comments and audience interaction. All presenters must be
members of The Stowe Society at the time of the conference.
