We are seeking submissions for an edited book collection on American novelist E.D.E.N. Southworth. Southworth was one of the most popular novelists of the 19th-century, and her career was extraordinarily long -- she actively produced fiction for nearly forty years. However, her works and career have received relatively little attention from late 20th and early 21st century scholars, considerably less than some other 19th-century women novelists, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Catharine Maria Sedgwick, and Fanny Fern. Furthermore, the majority of published scholarly work has focused on a single novel, The Hidden Hand. This edited collection will both remedy this deficiency and attract further attention to Southworth and her place in literary history. Please submit papers no longer than 10,000 words using the Chicago style of citation (the word limit includes notes) no later than August 15, 2009. E-mail submissions to the editors are preferred: send to Melissa at mhomestead2@unl.eu, or Pam at pwashington@uco.edu. A significant portion of the essays will derive from a symposium on Southworth’s works held at the American Antiquarian Society in April 2009, but we will also consider work by other scholars. Essays that cover issues, texts, and approaches not addressed at the symposium are particularly encouraged. We welcome e-mail queries before submission about proposed essay topics, and will also share a longer call for submissions on request.
