Dear Colleagues  

(Apologies for the previous error in posting)
 
 
Please join us at Keele University, UK, for  the inaugural conference of the 
Women in Literature Forum! It will take  place in the Science Learning Centre 
at Keele University on 14th June 2007.  This year’s event, which will 
hopefully be the first of many, will focus on  women in Russian literature. In 
organising this event, we are aiming to establish a forum which will bring  together 
people who are researching feminism and gender in literature across all  
cultures, from both within the Keele community and beyond.   
The papers to be  presented are as follows: 
Dr Linda Edmondson,  Birmingham University: ‘Women in Nineteenth-Century  
Russia: Social and Historical  Perspectives.’ 
Kathryn Ambrose, Keele University: ‘Turgenev’s Women: Terrible  Perfection?’ 
Victoria O’Neill, Keele University: 'Durova and Theorising  Femininity 
and Masculinity.' 
Rebecca Barrett, Keele University: 'Pioneering  Women: Nadezhda
Sokhanskaia and Nadezhda  Khvoshchinskaia.’ 
Professor Joe Andrew,  Keele  University: ‘A Room of  One’s Own’, Part II: 
Narrative, Gender and Space in The Fiancée.’ 
This will be an all day event, and will include  lunch and tea/coffee. The 
fee for attending will be £10 for students and £21 for  staff. If you wish to 
attend, please contact Kathryn Ambrose off-list(_rhd19 at ihum.keele.ac.uk_ 
(mailto:rhd19 at ihum.keele.ac.uk) ) to book your place, by no later than  25th May 
2007. 
I would be most grateful if you could forward  details of this event to 
anyone who you think would be  interested. 
Many thanks!
