New Frontiers in Early American Literature, August 8-10, 2002
http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/eaf/conference/
The University of Virginia Library's Electronic Text Center, with the
support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, announces "New Frontiers in
Early American Literature," a conference to be held August 8-10, 2002 at the
University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA.
The "New Frontiers in Early American Literature" Conference will bring
together scholars exploring the Early American literary period in all its
facets. Presentations on all authors and all genres are welcome.
Interdisciplinary approaches are also encouraged.
This conference is inspired by our work in creating the "Electronic Archive
of Early American Fiction," an expansive on-line collection of American
novels and short stories written between 1789 and 1875. The texts chosen for
the project are drawn from the UVA Library's world-renowned collection in
Early American materials and include works by well-known authors such as
James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, and Charles Brockden Brown, as well
as lesser-known writers such as Catharine Maria Sedgwick and Rufus Dawes.
Papers, poster sessions, and panel proposals from all areas of studies in
Early American Literature will be considered, though possible topics include
Exploring the Frontier, Popular and Domestic Fiction, the Literary
Marketplace, Femininity and Masculinity, and Literature and the Civil War.
We also welcome papers related to these proposed sessions:
-Textual Editing
-Creating Digital Archives
-Using Digital Resources for Scholarship, Teaching, or Pleasure Reading
