Pride and Prejudice: Celebrating 200 years of Jane Austen's best-loved novel, 6/21-23/13, Cambridge, UK. Deadline 12/7/12
2013 marks the bicentenary of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice', one of the best-loved English novels of all time. Our conference will celebrate two hundred years of 'Pride and Prejudice' by uniting the past with the present, considering Austen's favourite novel in both its original historical context and through the lens of the numerous screen adaptations and literary spin-offs the book has subsequently inspired. For full details of the current programme, please visit our website at:
www.prideandprejudice.org.uk.
Having finalised an exciting lecture programme of talks by well-known Austen academics, we are now seeking proposals for contributions to a complementary series of panel discussions. Proposals for individual 20-minute papers or panels on 'Pride and Prejudice' are equally welcome.
Proposals for panels should consist of a minimum of two and a maximum of four papers, and include the names of the session chair; the names, affiliations and email addresses of the speakers; and short 200-word abstracts of the papers. Individual paper proposals should consist of a 200-word abstract of the paper with brief details of your current affiliation.
Proposals for either papers or panels should be sent by email to the conference organisers Professor Janet Todd and Dr Chloe Preedy by Friday 7 December 2012: janeausten@lucy-cav.cam.ac.uk.
We look forward to receiving your proposal.
