Call for Papers - Special Edition of Persuasions On-Line - Global Jane Austen
Persuasions On-Line, JASNA’s online journal, has issued a call for papers for a special edition to concentrate on Global Jane Austen.
We invite essays on “Global Jane Austen” for a special edition of Persuasions On-Line. Austen, who never traveled outside England, has nonetheless wielded enormous literary and cultural influence across the globe. Austen societies can be found on at least five continents, and her novels have been the inspiration for films set in India as well as California. In addition, novelists in many languages have attempted to translate or transpose aspects of her plots, themes, and techniques into entirely different settings. What is the secret of her global appeal? What are the limits of translation across cultures?
Papers are due July 15, 2007 (see link for details) so make haste!
