Castaway bodies

April Conference

At Jagiellonian University’s triannual conference dedicated to research in English philology, taking place in Kraków from 20-22 April 2023, the project team joined the panel “18th-Century Textual Transplant(ation)s”.

While the PI chaired one session and was present throughout, there were two presentations on project-related topics, one by the Co-Investigator and one by a contributor to the secondary output, the special issue on Fridays’ bodies:

Roslyn Irving (Liverpool), The Female American (1767): Manifesting the female gothic

Patrick Gill (Mainz), Friday’s ascendancy: The role-reversal Robinsonade from postcolonialism to ecocriticism
