CANADIAN JOURNAL OF IRISH STUDIES: SPECIAL ISSUE: RECONSIDERING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY

The interdisciplinary Canadian Journal of Irish Studies invites submissions for a special issue, "Reconsidering the Nineteenth Century" (scheduled to appear at the end of 2004).

 

Possible topics, very broadly defined, include (but are not limited to):

Ø      nationalist movements that challenged the division of Ireland by religious affiliation

Ø      reconsiderations of the effects, and causes, of the famines

Ø      Irish music after the Belfast Harper's Festival

Ø      religious debates within (rather than between) religious communities (e.g., the Veto Controversy)

Ø      nineteenth-century Irish historiography

Ø      Irish influence outside of Ireland (through the circulation of Irish culture, including translations, and/or the diaspora)

Ø      Irish literature's engagement with other national literatures

Ø      the Anglo-Irish gothic from Maturin to Stoker

Ø      the Irish periodical press

 

Submitted essays should be approx. 5000-6500 words in length (including notes etc.) and should follow either the MLA Style Sheet (literatures and languages) or the Chicago Manual of Style (other disciplines). The author's name should appear only on the cover sheet in order to facilitate blind vetting.
