Kate Chopin around the World: Global Perspectives

Proposals for essay chapters are invited for a collection on the fiction of nineteenth-century American author Kate Chopin with an emphasis on global perspectives. A book proposal for Lexington Books/Rowman and Littlefield, the collection will be comprised of essays that present global approaches to teaching, reading, and/or researching Chopin’s work in contexts outside the United States. Comparisons to other authors is welcome, and emphasis on racial or class-based concerns is encouraged. Essay chapter proposals should be between 200-250 words, and include a title and short bio of the author. Final essays will be due at the beginning of 2024, and will run 20-24 double-spaced pages long. Proposals are due to Heather Ostman (heather.ostman@sunywcc.edu) by Friday, April 14, 2023.
