Articles on Howells at this site
The William Dean Howells Society welcomes submissions for two panels at the 2012 American Literature Association in San Francisco, which is being held over Memorial Day weekend.
Panel 1: The Late Howells
We are looking for papers that focuses on Howells’s late work. Though scholarship on his novels through A Hazard of New Fortunes is abundant, Howells remained prolific until his death in 1920. Why has his work after 1890 gotten relatively little attention? What works deserve another (or even a first) look? What of Howells’ work as a playwright? Or his work in the short story genre? How does ignoring the late Howells’ alter his position in American literary history, or perhaps even complicate American literary history?
Panel 2: Open Topic
We are looking for insightful, original papers that address any aspect of Howells's work.
Please submit your 200-250 word abstract and a current CV (or any inquiries) to Lance Rubin at lance.rubin@arapahoe.edu <mailto:lance.rubin@arapahoe.edu> by November 1, 2011.
