CFP: Victorian Emotions (2/1/07; journal issue)
 
Victorian Studies seeks essays for a special issue on ?�Victorian 
Emotions.?�  Possible topics include -- but are not limited to -- the 
role of the emotions in Victorian notions of psychology, physiology, 
science, history, politics, or art.  This special issue will provide a 
forum for discussing Victorian concerns about the emotions that remain 
at issue today: What are the political stakes involved in the emotions? 
  What is the relation between the emotions and reason?  What is the 
role of historical specificity in emotional experience?  It will also 
engage questions that arise for intellectual, literary, and social 
historians of the emotions * as well as for those working in the field 
of Victorian studies more generally: What are the limits to what we can 
know about other historical moments?  What tools are available to us for

reconstructing past understandings or experiences?  To what extent do 
these tools necessarily cross or complicate disciplinary boundaries?
 
Deadline for submissions: 1 February 2007.  Please direct all queries to

guest editor Rachel Ablow (rablow@buffalo.edu).  Essays may not exceed 
8,000 words.  Please send hard copies of each submission to Rachel 
Ablow, Department of English, University at Buffalo, SUNY, Buffalo, NY 
14260.
