 “Translations, Exchanges, and Afterlives: Early Modern France and England”

 

This collaborative session sponsored by the Forum on Sixteenth-Century French Literature and Seventeenth-Century British Literature seeks to explore literary interchanges between France and England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This roundtable will gather scholars of Early Modern France and England to share research, methodologies, and strategies that can contribute to the understanding of both fields. Many early modern French writings, literary as well as moral and political, saw an afterlife in the form of English translations and adaptations. We seek 150-word proposals for contributions on any aspect of exchange between the French and English writers and works during the period. Topics may include:

 

· Translation · Literary allusion and adaptation · Transnational literary networks · Politics and political writing · Moral and philosophical works · Writing on religious conflict · Comparative approaches to race, gender, and/or sexuality Please send abstracts and brief CVs to Lara Dodds (ldodds@english.msstate.edu) and Hassan Melehy (hmelehy@unc.edu) by March 11, 2022.
