Women Prophets, Revolutionary Politics

RSA 2007, March 22-24
Miami, FL In the middle decades of the seventeenth
century, the 
emergence of myriad radical sects created a space in
which some women 
were possessed of the ability to preach, to prophecy,
to engage in 
political and religious debates, to write, and to
publish.  As the 
personal, religious, and political converged, and as
public and private 
were inverted or blurred, these radical women made
waves in interregnum 
England.  As vessels filled with divine inspiration,
women prophets? 
apparent relinquishing of selfhood paradoxically
allowed them to utter 
statements which were overtly political and often
subversive.  This 
panel seeks papers which explore the ways in which
revolutionary 
politics shaped and were shaped by the lives and works
of women 
prophets.  A variety of theoretical approaches are
welcome.  Please 
send inquiries and abstracts for 15 minute papers,
along with any A/V 
requirements to Molly Hand at
mmm02m@garnet.acns.fsu.edu by May 10, 
2006.  Abstracts may be submitted as Word attachments,
otherwise they 
should be in the body of the e-mail.
