Talk: “Recovering 19th-Century American Women Writers: Trends and Challenges”
This presentation will focus on literary recovery--the practice of restoring the lost, forgotten, or neglected literary work of American women writers—and the challenges and opportunities presented by the discovery of new authors and archives, shifts in literary and cultural theory, and the emergence of digital publishing platforms. Catharine Sedgwick’s recovered writings, both in print and digitally, along with other recent digital editions and trends, will be examined with attention paid to the effects of the recovery movement on American literary history.
