CALL FOR PAPERS: Deadline December 15, 2003
Inviting abstracts for a panel to be proposed for the Annual International
Conference on Virginia Woolf.
23 - 26 June 2004. Institute of English Studies. University of London
Woolf and Byron
In 1979, Edward Hungerford, edited Woolf=B9s essay =B3Byron and Mr. Briggs=B2 for
posthumous publication (Yale Review 68.3 [1979]). In his essay on Woolf and
the Romantics (in Virginia Woolf and the Essay eds. Rosenberg and Dubino
[1998]), he leaves aside consideration of Woolf=B9s views of Byron as =B3too
complex to deal with=B2 briefly. In proposing this panel, Ed Hungerford and I
propose to take up the complexity of Woolf=B9s relationship with Byron. Both
Byron and Woolf were intensely contradictory characters and neither sought
to paper over the internal tensions with which they struggled.
Possible Paper Topics:
=B3Byron and Mr. Briggs=B2
Byronism in The Waves, Jacob=B9s Room or other Woolf texts
Bloomsbury and Byron
Byronic vs. Bloomsbury androgyny and polymorphous perversity
Woolf and the aristocracy
Woolf and Byron as literary celebrities
genre-bending (poetic prose and prosaic poetry)
etc.
By December 1, send an abstract of no more than 250 words, your name, and
