Dear Subscribers,

I am searching for two panelists for the upcoming conference of the Consortium on the Revolutionary Era 1750-1850 being held in February 22-24, 2018, in Philadelphia.

2018 NeMLA Annual Convention / Pittsburgh, PA / April 12-15, 2018

This panel will focus on uncovering the ideas and philosophies proposed by seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French writers to criticize, change, or improve their world. We will discuss their personal ideas, beliefs, and value systems in light of the reality of their time. Seventeenth- and eighteenth-century authors will include female and male philosophers, moralists, essayists, poets, novelists, and playwrights. The method of analysis is open.

Engaging the Pastoral: Social, Environmental, and Artistic Critique in Contemporary Pastoral Literature (Special Issue)

Edited by Melinda A. Cro (Kansas State University) & Rachel Paparone (Ithaca College)

The confessional divide between Protestantism and Catholicism was an important factor in the emergence of (language-based) national identities and the European nation-state. These nation-states had to be reconstituted after the Napoleonic wars: New state structures, among them also bi-confessional ones, emerged. The Nation as the ideal foundation of political constitution had to be defined also in relation to religious classifications. Religious legitimation of statehood was confirmed anew in 1815, but was also challenged by modern forms of justification of rule.
