MORRIS SOCIETY SESSIONS AT 2001 MLA: CALL FOR PAPERS
The William Morris Society will present two sesions of papers at the 2001 MLA Annual Convention. The first, "The Pre-Raphaelite Circle and Early Modernism" will deal with the connections between Morris, the Rossettis, Swinburne, and other Pre-Raphaelites and the post-Victorian generations of Modernist writers (and artists) active through the first half of the twentieth century. We're thinking here of figures such as Yeats, Pound, Woolf, H.D., Ford Madox Ford, and their American counterparts. "Morris and the Pre-Raphaelites: Science and the Natural World," the second session, encompasses a wide subject, ranging from natural images in Morris's design work to the impact of science (and scientific knowledge) on the Pre-Raphaelites to conservation, environmentalism, and related politics as seen and influenced by Morris in both the nineteenth century and our own time. You do not need to belong to the Society to submit a paper. Nor must you be an academic. However, all participants in a session at the MLA Annual Convention must be MLA members by 1 April of the year in which they are to speak, unless they do not teach or study literature or language--in which case we can obtain a "waiver." (What this means is that anyone can give a paper; if you teach literature you must join the MLA; if you do something else, e.g. are an art historian or a curator, or teach history, or have some other profession, all that is required is payment of the convention registration fee.) Potential speakers are reminded that papers are limited to 20 minutes. Submissions go (best by e-mail) to: Florence Boos, Department of English, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242; florence-boos@uiowa.edu. The deadline is 15 March 2001.
