Call for Papers: 'Spenser, Milton, Ireland', RSA 2021

Spenser, Milton, Ireland 

The Milton Society of America and the International Spenser Society are jointly sponsoring a panel for RSA 2021 on “Spenser, Milton, Ireland.” What insights and methodologies emerge from triangulating these points? Possible angles of approach: How does Milton’s reading of Spenser engage Spenser’s deployments of Ireland? How does Ireland (or “Ireland”) play into each writer’s generic repertoires? In what ways do early-modern English dis/figurations of Ireland subtend elements of the two writers’ oeuvres?  

Proposals treating both writers especially welcome; papers on one of the two may also be accepted if they felicitously dovetail with other submissions. This is a guaranteed session. 

Proposals should include the following, and should be sent to susanne.wofford@nyu.edu and lauren.shohet@villanova.edu by July 20: paper title (15-word maximum), abstract (150-word maximum), curriculum vitae (no longer than 5 pages), PhD or other terminal degree completion date (past or expected), full name, current affiliation, and email address.

Note that the RSA stipulation that individuals present no more than 1 paper applies to papers rolled over from RSA 2020.

    This session represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to scholarly dialogue at the intersection of early modern literature, history, and cultural studies.

    Particularly encouraged are proposals that address both authors; nevertheless, papers focusing on only one of the two may be considered provided they harmoniously complement other entries
