Edward Everett Hale (American Literature Association, 1/15/07;
5/24-5/27/07)

We are soliciting proposals for a session on Edward Everett Hale
(1822-1909), the prolific author, pastor, reformer, amateur historian,
congressional chaplain, and editor, co-founder of the Unitarian Church
of America, and associate of Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, and several U.S. Presidents. Hale?s
writings include ?The Man Without a Country? (one of the most
widely read and reprinted Civil War texts) and its sequel, Philip
Nolan?s Friends, along with dozens of novels and short stories that
appeared in leading periodicals like The Atlantic Monthly and North
American Review.

Please send your proposal and CV by 1/15/07 to hsuan.hsu_at_yale.edu or
Susan Kalter, smkalte_at_ilstu.edu. We are particularly interested in
proposals that link Hale?s work to critical issues like nationalism,
nineteenth-century Unitarianism, citizenship, international law,
U.S./Latin American relations, Anglo-Spanish rivalries in the Louisiana
Territory, and border studies. This panel is being organized in
conjunction with a projected critical edition of Hale?s most
influential writings.
