A Georgic Sense of Wonder [due Sept 15]

American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) - Williamsburg, VA - March 20-23, 2014

Does Georgic "begin in wonder"? Recent scholarship highlights the importance of georgic in the 18th century: Virgil's didactic poem on agriculture flourished in English translations, took root in various imitations, and branched out in new literary directions, while early modern georgic writers engaged with pressing issues of labor and trade, natural and cultural history, local place and imperial ambition. We now have at our disposal new ways of seeing both halves of Addison's definition of georgic: "the science of husbandry" as well as the "embellishments of poetry."

At the turn of the twentieth century, American journalism opened up new opportunities for women to establish professional identities as writers and social advocates. This panel invites papers addressing how female reporters used journalism to heighten readers' awareness of, and civic involvement in, crucial issues facing America at the turn of the twentieth century. In what various ways did female reporters promote civic literacy? How did women journalists construct a persuasive ethos capable of spurring social change? What audiences did they move to action, and through what rhetorical strategies?
