The Henry James Society is organizing a panel for the Modern Language Assocation Convention in New Orleans in January 2025! 

 

The topic is "Seeing Things: Perception and Palpability in Henry James." How is sight in James tied to the physical body, material world, and felt relations? How do language and style play with sensation, cognition, and embodiment? Proposals on Alice and William are welcome. 

 

Please submit 300-word abstract + short bio to tkill@unc.edu and sarah.wadsworth@marquette.edu by 3/14/2024.
