To celebrate the recent publication of Eliot Now and to discuss the field of literary modernism/s at this historical moment, there is a one day conference at CUNY on April 25th.
Among other events, the conference will start with a roundtable on Eliot Now, with several of its contributors (Sumita Chakraborty, Anthony Cuda, Julia Daniel, Frances Dickey), and Professor Megan Quigley and her co-editor, David Chinitz.
The plenary is an exciting talk by Paul Saint-Amour (U Penn) entitled, “ Joyce, Roth, Hannaham, The Mythical Method Revisited,” which Megan Quigley will moderate.
The event is organized by Ria Banerjee (CUNY) and will also have a panel called “Radical Eliot,” which will focus on her new book, Drafty Houses in Forster, Eliot, and Woolf (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024) as well as Patrick Query’s Freedom is Not Enough (SUNY Press).
All NYC area 20th-century lit scholars and grad students are invited! Please come!
