MLA 2014
9-12 January, Chicago
Dickens Society Panel


"Stupid Dickens" invites papers that reflect on and/or move beyond pronouncements that Dickens produced "flat," imbecilic, one-dimensional characters appealing to our non-intellectual selves and sides to consider intelligence/stupidity in terms of (for instance) provincialism/urbanity; cognition and/or affect; race and/or class; literary genre or mode. Please send 250-word abstracts to Rae Greiner, drgreine@indiana.edu by March 1 2013.
