Call for Papers: The Limits of History


The dealine for essays to The Limits of History (described below) has
been extended to July 1, 2007.

Essays are invited for a collection entitled The Limits of History, to
be co-edited by Allen Dunn and Thomas Haddox. This volume is guided by
the assumption that the current dominance of historicist approaches to
literary study has often distorted the discipline, that historical
methodology as it has been applied in contemporary literary scholarship
is often heedless of its own methodological inconsistency, blind to its
dependence on other disciplines, and incapable of clearly articulating
many of its own most deeply held values. The essays in this volume will
address the flaws of literary historicism as it is currently practiced
and suggest more productive roles for historical scholarship with
the ultimate purpose of clarifying the goals and values of literary
study. We welcome contributions that will draw on a variety of fields,
including aesthetics, ethics, theology, the sciences, and history,
especially new and alternative visions of historical research. We are
looking for essays that engage rather than ignore the challenge
presented by contemporary historicism and that offer theoretically
supported alternatives to what has become the new disciplinary orthodoxy.

Completed essays (5,000-8,000 words) are due by July 1, 2007. Please
send essays to Thomas Haddox, Department of English, 301 McClung Tower,
University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, TN 37996
USA.
