in the nineteenth century. Participants will circulate a short excerpt from their work (a few pages) in advance of the event. During the session, each contributor will offer a brief presentation (approximately five minutes) introducing the work and highlighting
its central ideas. We will then open the floor for broader conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
