We invite contributions to the discussion of the novel not only from "a comparative approach across gender” (Kilcup 6), but also across class and race, reflecting on connections, affiliations and disaffiliations among the contemporaneous writers; further topics include but are not limited to: playfulness and play-acting; the representation of affect and emotion; the repudiation of the excesses of sentimentalism; the literary market and its demands; the idea of collaborative writing; canonicity and the politics of scholarship.
The deadline for submission of titles and abstracts is 15 May 2024. Abstracts are sent for 15-20 min presentations and should not exceed 500 words (incl. references). Please send your abstracts to both the following addresses: Jelena Sesnic jsesnic@ffzg.unizg.hr and Verena Laschinger verena.laschinger@uni-erfurt.de
The text is available for download in the open domain.
