'Nineteenth-Century Prose' invites submissions for a special issue on the picturesque for Fall 2002. The picturesque is, arguably, the most pervasive and familiar aesthetic term of the nineteenth century, as well as its most controversial. It demarcates the limits of nineteenth century sympathy and designates the terms of cosmopolitan, national and regional inclusion. Who was deemed picturesque and who could invoke the term as a descriptive category of charming otherness? How was the picturesque used to make the growing disparities of modernity more palatable? How did it define in aesthetic terms the emergent distinctions between metropolitan and peripheral nations and subnations? A variety of perspectives is encouraged , including theoretical interrogations that address questions of agency: is the picturesque an aesthetics of observation or projection? Given the international dimension of this aesthetic, articles can also include locales beyond the U.S., Britain and Europe. The only stipulation is that the essays focus on the non-fiction prose of the nineteenth century. Inquires, submissions and proposals should be sent by email or post to the guest editor, Carrie Tirado Bramen (bramen@acsu.buffalo.edu). Please submit proposals (1-3 pages) or full-length essays (25 pages) by 1 August 2001.
