In January 2023, the William Morris Society in the United States will host two panels at the Modern Language Association annual conference.
The conference will take place from 5-8 January 2023 in San Francisco.
Transatlantic Ties: The Morris Circle and the “New World”
Papers are sought for a panel on the cross-influence of Morris and his associates on North American literature and culture and the reverse. What did the Morris circle find congenial in American/Canadian/South American/indigenous literature and culture, and in turn, in what ways were Morris and his circle influential in the literary, artistic, business, and political circles of the Americas? What were some instances of transatlantic collaboration?
