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
