Call for Papers: Nineteenth-Century Women Writers 1830-1880 (journal)
The editors of this special issue of the journal, `Women's Writing',
invite original articles on women's popular writing of the Nineteenth
Century, between c1830 and 1880. We hope to attract essays (3,000-10,000
words) on lesser-known works by writers such as Mary Braddon, Margaret
Oliphant and Ellen Wood, as well as critical readings of texts by more
neglected figures. Possible authors might also include (but are not by any
means limited to) Rhoda Broughton, Charlotte Yonge, Eliza Cook, Charlotte
Riddell, Caroline Clive and Adelaide Proctor. Possible topics for papers
include: writings in a range of popular genres and forms (domestic
realism, sensation fiction, religious fiction, romances, the short story,
the ghost story, detective fiction), as well as poetry and non-fictional
writings. Papers might also focus on some of the following: readership,
magazines, professionalism, the literary marketplace, cultural
commentaries on literature and femininity.
Inquiries and completed manuscripts (3 copies) should be submitted to the
guest editors at one of the addresses below by 31st August 2002:
Detailed `notes for contributors' can be found on the inside back cover of
each issue.
