Despite his repudiation of her, writers and critics have often noted a
relationship between Henry James and Jane Austen, particularizing their
connection in a way that acknowledges in it an inherent estrangement. If
Jane Austen bore no corporal fruit, one of Kipling's "Janeites" argues,
"she *did* leave lawful issue in the shape o' one son; an' 'is name was
'Enery James."
For a panel on Austen and James at the 2002 MLA in New York, we
solicit papers that imagine and examine a literary relation between Jane
Austen and Henry James.
Abstracts of 250-500 words by 3/15/02 to David McWhirter
