Panel Proposal
2013 VISAWUS conference: Victorian Modernities
Courtyard by Marriott, Portland City Center, Portland, Oregon USA
November 14-16, 2013
Among the scientific discoveries and emerging new
disciplines that contributed to a palpable sense of Victorian modernity,
some of the most intriguing involved new understandings of the physical
basis of mind as discoveries were made about the structure and operation of the
nervous system and the brain. This proposed panel seeks papers that investigate
how the emergence of new understandings and interpretations of the mind/body
relationship manifested in Victorian fiction. Those interested should email
Genie Babb (gbabb001@plattsburgh.edu) and
Judy DeTar (jsdetar@sbcglobal.net)
by March 12.
