"Dickens and the Victorians in the 1840s"
I invite you to submit papers for a special session on Dickens to be held at the Sixth Annual Central New York Conference on Language and Literature, to be held at Cortland College of the State University of New York, .
The topic will be "Dickens and the Victorians in the 1840s." The 1990s mark the 150th anniversary of a number of Dickens works--"The Old Curiosity Shop" (1840-41), "Barnaby Rudge" (1841), "Martin Chuzzlewit" (1843-44), the Christmas Books (1843-48), "Dombey and Son" (1846-48), "The Life of Our Lord" (1849), "American Notes" (1842). Our session will focus on papers dealing with Dickens' achievement in the 1840s and on related writings of his American and British contemporaries. It will allow us both to celebrate an important phase in Dickens' career and to extend our consideration to a broader range of works and authors of the period.
Send abstracts or completed papers to: Kenneth M. Sroka, Department of English, Canisius College, 2001 Main Street, Buffalo, New York 14208. Deadline: July 1st. I can also be reached at srokak@wehle.canisius.edu.

The session is open to papers on any one of these three Victorian novelists. The papers may explore how notions of "art" and "entertainment" became attached to their work, and how the novelists reacted against one another as "artists" or "entertainers" either in the period or in today's classrooms.
