Call for Papers on "Rural Urbanities": how Eighteenth Century novelists
represent (re-present) the city from the point of view of the country.

A panel at the South Central Society for Eighteenth Century Studies
Conference, March 3-5, 2003 in Fort Worth, TX.

How do Eighteenth Century writers characterize the city from within the
country/rural setting? How does the city "invade" the country? How is the
city vilified and on what basis? How do writers approach, handle, justify
the city as "dangerous" but "civilized," while the country is "innocent" yet
"savage"? I invite submissions on both British and American literature.

 
Please send 300-500 word abstracts/proposals by January 15, 2003 to (e-mail
versions preferred!):
