Edith Wharton Review: The Age of Innocence at One Hundred

Due Date: 08-31-2020

The Edith Wharton Review invites submissions for a special issue celebrating the centenary of The Age of Innocence. We welcome essays on any aspect of Wharton’s acclaimed novel, from the historical to the queer, from the architectural to the gastronomic. We are especially interested in essays that interpret The Age of Innocence in relation to our contemporary historical moment from the perspective of current critical theories, new reading practices, political climates, and global contexts. One hundred years since its publication, the novel remains relevant, and we seek comparative and cross-disciplinary efforts, including engagements with age, temporalities, embodiment, and dis/ability. The deadline for submissions is 31 August 2020. For more information, visit http://www.psupress.org/Journals/jnls_EWR.html.
