Description
This conference session seeks to expand the traditional circumference of the “Sidney Circle” centered on the literary legacies of Philip and Mary Sidney. Work in the digital humanities, recent studies of manuscript circulation, revised understandings of authorship, and the ongoing work of recovering women’s writing all contribute to current work re-imagining literary networks. We invite proposals that consider literary networks, from the vantages of recent digital work, editorial practice, the circulation of texts, patronage, and authorship. In keeping with the overall theme of the conference, we particularly encourage papers that focus on the engagement of Sidneian poetics with medieval and “medievalizing” sources, contemporaries, and imitators.
