Call for Papers:

Victorian Landscape Descriptions

38th Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
March 1-4, 2007

The Victorian Landscape Descriptions panel invites abstracts of papers which
discuss landscape descriptions of the Victorian period, fictional or actual,

cultural issues and concerns: aesthetics / ethics / exploration / psychology

will be paid to papers that address moments of conflict within a Victorian
landscape: conflicts caused by interaction between humans and landscapes, by
competing versions/visions of a landscape, or by changes taking place within
a landscape (temporally or spatially), etc. Any definition of "landscape"
will be considered.

Abstracts should be approximately one page in length. Send via email to
