Subject: Victorian Network: Call for Papers for New Postgraduate Journal
Call for Papers: New Postgraduate Journal - Victorian Network
Victorian Network is a new online journal dedicated to publishing and
promoting the best postgraduate work in Victorian Studies. The journal is
guest edited by established scholars in the field and peer-reviewed by other
doctoral students.
Two types of submissions are now accepted for the first issue. We are seeking
essays of no longer than 7000 words which engage with the topic of the first
issue, "The British Empire and Victorian Literature and Culture". Topics might
include but are not limited to:
* Imperial historiography and travel writing
* Colonialism and notions of gender, race and sexuality
* The circulation of people, goods, narratives and ideas in the British Empire
* The rise of 'imperial' sciences, such as geography, ethnography and
anthropology
* Postcolonial rewritings of Victorian texts
* Literary celebrations and criticisms of empire
* The development of imperial ideology
The issue will be guest edited by Dr Muireann O'Cinneide (National University
of Ireland, Galway). A prize of £50 will be awarded to the best paper
submitted.
We also invite short essays of no longer than 2000 words which approach
Emily Bront 's Wuthering Heights in a way that is pertinent and interesting for
readers outside the academic field, such as A-Level or GCSE students. There
will be a prize of £25 for the best short paper submitted.
Please send submissions to [log in to unmask] Deadline for
Submissions: 1st April 2009.
