CFP: The New Criticism (06/15/07; collection)

I welcome abstracts and full essays for a proposed volume on American
"New Criticism." Essays that deal in an original manner with the history
of this movement (including its impact and legacy in higher education,
its connections to Continental formalist movements and authors, etc.)
are especially encouraged, as are essays that address the theoretical
and philosophical implications of New Critical practice. A good general
description of the proposed book's area would be "history of criticism
and theory." I am in talks with Cambridge Scholars Press regarding this
volume, and will submit a formal proposal after I have selected
contributors.

"Trauma and the American Revolution: Representing Rupture." This panel
will examine literary representations of the American Revolution from
the point of view of trauma and historical rupture. What is the
significance of those representations, which imagine the revolutionary
era in terms of absence, ambiguity, loss, and the crisis of identity?
One of our most famous tales involving the revolution, Washington
Irving's "Rip Van Winkle," for example, figures the war as a central
and productive absence in the text. Nathaniel Hawthorne's Legends of
the Province House contemplates the implications of the war in terms
that often evoke the reader's sympathy for those who under go what
