AB on a Wider Canvas

CALL FOR PAPERS

For the 2012 Conference we have, as the title suggests, decided to celebrate Arnold Bennett's other accomplishments and we welcome papers on his journalism, (literary criticism, travel writing, propaganda during the First World War etc) his love of music, painting, the theatre and French literature, (and how those interests fed into his novels and short stories) and his reputation in the contemporary literary scene (perhaps revisiting the enduring significance of 'Mr Bennett and Mrs Brown'). Another possible theme might be the historical background to his novels - Edwardian period, First World War, Inter-war period.

As you can see, 'A Wider Canvas'.

Please send 200 word extract of your proposal to me by February 2012. Morag Jones at arnoldbennettscty@btinternet.com
