Call for Papers: Ireland and the Novel in the Nineteenth Century
Submissions are invited for an edited collection of essays on the topic of
'Ireland and the Novel in the Nineteenth Century'. The aim of the
collection is to rethink and expand definitions of the Irish novel in the
period 1800-1900, and to interrogate current critical discourse surrounding
nineteenth century Irish fiction. The collection will explore the generic,
critical, and ideological implications involved in such a rethinking of
definitions of the Irish novel, will investigate sub-genres or authors
hitherto overlooked during this period, and will examine the relationship
between the print cultures of Britain and Ireland (as well as others such
as North America, Australia, and South Africa) specifically as it relates
to the representation of Ireland in nineteenth century fiction and to the
production and reception of Irish novels.
In the first instance, please submit a detailed abstract of 600 words
outlining a proposal for an essay. The deadline for submitting abstracts is
1 March 2002. Selection for inclusion in the collection will be made on the
basis of these abstracts. Essays will be c6,000 words in length and
completed essays will be due by 15 January 2003.
Queries and abstracts should be directed to:
