CHARLES DICKENS: BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, DEATHS

In Dickens?s bicentenary year we wish to invite proposals for papers 
on crucial thresholds, moments of transition, and life cycles as 
these are represented, questioned or complicated in Dickens's 
writings. We invite contributions that explore these topics, 
including but not limited to papers which focus on the following:
1)Births (birth rituals; births of boys vs. birth of girls; 
legitimacy and illegitimacy; birth and class identity vs. innate identity);
2)Marriages (marriage and money; marriage and love; sadistic and 
masochistic marriages; marriage and theatrical performance);
3)Deaths (death by murder; death by drowning or 'accident'); funerals 
and theatrical performance; death and gender and social class).

Guest speakers:
