Helen Terre Blanche

Women's Writing in Britain, 1660-1830
15 to 17 July 2003, Winchester and Chawton, United Kingdom

The conference will mark the opening of Chawton Library
which will house a remarkable collection of books and
manuscripts by women published between 1600 and 1830
in the restored Elizabethan mansion that once belonged
to Jane Austen's brother. The Centre for the Study of
Early English Women's Writing formally inaugurates the
association between the University and the Library.
Confirmed keynote speakers include Professor Isobel
Grundy and Professor Claudia Johnson.

We invite proposals for papers and for panels on any
aspect or genre of female authorship in the 'long
eighteenth century'.

Possible themes could include: biography; bluestockings;
print culture; public spheres; consumption; scandal;
sexualities; empire; sensibility; the woman of letters;
feminism; patriotism; politics; men and masculinities;
networks; radicalism; anti-slavery and racial thinking;
gardens and gardening; manners; morals; motherhood;
marriage; patronage; education; class and authorship.

Papers on all questions of adaptation for the large and
small screen are welcome. We hope that some sessions
will look at the framing questions of the construction of
literary history and the changes in critical debate on this
crucial period of women's cultural production.
Interdisciplinary papers which look at the social and
cultural environments and at material culture in the period
are also very welcome.
