Interpreting Sexual Violence, 1660-1800
Volume Editor: Anne Greenfield, Valdosta State University

Abstracts due by 15 May 2012

Sexual violence was a favorite subject of many (long) eighteenth-century writers, artists, and thinkers. This collection seeks to examine the conflicting, intersecting, and shared ideologies within representations of sexual violence over the course of the long eighteenth century. Since depictions of sexual violence appeared in various forms and in a variety of genres, papers examining sexual violence in one or more venues between 1660 and 1800 are welcome.

Please submit to the editor a 250-500 word abstract, along with a biographical statement (indicating your affiliation, prior publications, and contact information) by May 15, 2012. If accepted, a final version of the paper (6,000-8,000 words) would be needed by fall 2012 (details to follow). Inquiries and questions may be directed to Anne Greenfield, algreenfield@valdosta.edu.
