The Wordsworth-Coleridge Association
Call for Papers
Modern Language Association Convention, Seattle, January 9-12, 2020
The Wordsworth-Coleridge Association is an Allied Organization of the Modern Language Association that meets annually during the MLA Convention. Along with an annual festive lunch, the Wordsworth-Coleridge Association is allowed to propose up to two scholarly sessions. For the MLA Convention in Seattle, proposals are invited for the following topic.
Romantic Asia. The British Romantic era witnessed a new and sustained interest in Asian art and culture, rapid trade growth, especially with China and Southeast Asia, and two royal embassies to China in 1793 and 1816. Proposals for papers should examine cross-cultural encounters, real and imaginary voyages, and the exchange of commodities, artifacts, ideas, visual representations and texts between Britain and East Asia during the Romantic period.
Submit abstracts (maximum 300 words) by March 15, 2019, to James McKusick ([log in to unmask]). The MLA requires (in addition to an abstract) a brief biographical statement (circa 300 words), written in the third person, including the presenter’s name, title, affiliation, final degree institution and date, scholarly interests and publications. Particularly relevant are scholarship and publications that directly relate to the proposed session topic. Please include some persuasive points about the importance, significance, and contribution of the proposed presentation and any previous work you have done relating to the session topic.
All MLA program participants must be members of the Modern Language Association by April 1, 2019. For information on the MLA Convention: http://www.mla.org/convention
All subscribers to The Wordsworth Circle are members of the Wordsworth-Coleridge Association. Essays selected for presentation at MLA will be published in The Wordsworth Circle.
