Robert Penn Warren Circle Seeking Papers on Roberts/Warren Connection

Robert Penn Warren Circle CFP's--SAMLA 2008

Warren’s was a critical voice that either explicitly or implicitly provided analysis of and approbation for women writers such as Caroline Gordon, Elizabeth Madox Roberts, Eudora Welty, and Katherine Anne Porter, among many others; on the other hand, Warren himself admitted the influence of more than one woman’s expertise in writing on his own. This panel seeks to examine the sources, outcomes, and/or significances of Warren’s critical or artistic appreciations of such women writers as revealed through his personal, critical, or artistic relationships with any or all of the women whose writing careers overlapped with or intersected his own. By email only, send proposals of 250-500 words, suitable for 15-20 minute presentations, to Pat Bradley, , by 12 May 2008. Questions on the topic may also be directed to that email address.
