Modernist Studies Association 6th Annual Conference:
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, October 21-24, 2004
Proposed Panel: Aging Modernism
>From the popularity of Peter Pan to Ezra Pound’s injunction to “make it new,”
youthfulness was highly valued during the modernist period. This panel seeks to
contribute to the 2004 MSA conference theme, “Other Modernisms/Modernism’s
Others,” by examining notions of old age and the process of aging during the
modernist period. Were new aesthetic principles or innovative models of
experience developed to depict old age? Did aging Victorian artists and
writers reinvent themselves in order to participate in the new cultural scene?
Are there alternatives to the modernisms of those who called themselves “Les
Jeunes”?
Please send abstracts (250 words) to cport@english.upenn.edu by Saturday, May
