Reading Mary Wilkins Freeman Anew: Race and Queer Ecologies
The European Study Group of Nineteenth-Century American Literature will hold its annual meeting “Freeman in Paris” at Université Paris Cité, from September 30 to October 1, 2022.
The study group convenes each year in a different European country to discuss (formally and informally) little known nineteenth-century texts with a view to expanding our perspective on 19th US literature. The study group finds its strength in its mix of European scholars from different backgrounds and at various stages in their careers. The format allows for various approaches, from academic papers, group discussions, and interventions from Master students across different universities (this year: Université Paris Cité, Université Bretagne Sud, and Université Bordeaux Montaigne).
This year the group will step into Mary Wilkins Freeman’s world of New England against the backdrop of Paris, a city she visited. The focus will be on race and queer ecologies and we will be reading two of Freeman’s lesser studied works: her play, Giles Corey, a Yeoman, and Understudies, a 1901 collection of stories.
