Washington Area Romanticist's Group with Anne McCarthy's "How to Love What You Don't Understand: Discontinuous Subjects in Godwin’s Memoirs and Wollstonecraft’s Short Residence"

The Washington Area Romanticists Group is delighted to have as its spring 16 speaker Anne McCarthy (Penn State University).

WARG will be hosting Prof. McCarthy on Saturday April 16th, from 10AM-Noon on the campus of George Washington University.  (Room TBA).  Refreshments, as always, will be served.

Prof. McCarthy joined the faculty at Penn State in the Fall of 2012 to teach Romantic and Victorian literature, as well as critical theory. Her book project, “British Poetry, 1816|1855: The Sublime Aesthetics of Contingency” examines images of suspension—particularly suspended bodies—in the poetry and prose of the Romantic and early Victorian periods. Her articles have appeared in Victorian Poetry and Romantic Circles Praxis; a new essay on Shelley's "Mont Blanc" is forthcoming in Studies in Romanticism, and she has a short piece on suspension in Jacques Derrida: Key Concepts, edited by Claire Colebrook.
