Special Session on Robert Louis Stevenson’s Life & Works
“Loco/Motion” 34th Annual Conference of the Nineteenth
Century Studies Association
Fresno, California, March 7-9, 2013
As part of next year’s NCSA conference, Arnold Anthony
Schmidt is seeking papers for one or more panels about Robert Louis Stevenson
that address the theme of “Locomotion.” Scholars may consider the
theme literally (treating images of travel and physical movement in Stevenson’s
works), or metaphorically (e.g. chronological, ethical, historical,
intellectual, psychological, or spiritual “motion”). Feel free to
email Arnold if you have questions about the appropriateness of a topic for
presentation.
A representative of the Robert Louis Stevenson Silverado
Museum will join us to discuss the library’s rare books/manuscripts and to
display exhibits from the collection.
To submit, please e-mail 250-word abstracts of 20-minute
papers and one-page vitae to Arnold Anthony Schmidt at aschmidt@csustan.edu by
30 September 2012. Graduate
students may, upon acceptance of their abstracts, submit complete papers in
competition for a travel grant to help cover transportation and lodging expenses.
