Literary Juvenilia, material imagination and ‘things’
A young writer’s learning and creative experience is built around things. Drawing on Gaston Bachelard’s evocative phrase ‘material imagination’, this conference will explore the material culture of juvenilia (youthful writing up to the age of twenty): the relationship between ‘things’ and literary imagination and practice.The conference includes a day dedicated to papers on Brontë (and Austen) juvenilia on Friday 20 May 2022, including a keynote by Beverly Taylor, Professor and Head, Department of English and Comparative Literature, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. She specialises in Victorian literature and culture, especially poetry and women novelists including Elizabeth Barrett Browning and the Brontës. Professor Taylor will speak on “Becoming Acton Bell”, in celebration of the 2020 Bicentenary of Anne Brontë.
