Feb. 26-March 1, 2009
Hyatt Regency - Boston, Massachusetts
“Literature and Design in Twentieth-Century America”
Edith Wharton’s The Decoration of Houses from 1897, a primer on interior design, shapes American design taste to this very day. This panel will focus on the legacy of Wharton: what are the connections between narrative fiction and architectural compositions including interior design, modern furniture, technological devices, other elements of domestic material culture, and even landscape design? How do aspects of modern and postmodern design shape the fabrics of fiction in twentieth century America? Send 300-500 word abstracts and brief bios to Julia Faisst, faisst@fas.harvard.edu
Deadline: September 15, 2008
Please include with your abstract:
Name and Affiliation

Telephone number
A/V requirements (if any; $10 handling fee)
