Panel: Eudora Welty and Material Objects

sponsored by the Eudora Welty Society

SAMLA Conference

Omni Harbor Hotel

Baltimore, MD

November 15-17, 2002
 

Deadline: February 1, 2002

Anything is game for this panel: from Easter's mumbltey-peg jackknife and drinking cup to Miss Moody's hand-painted celluloid powder box, Loch's telescope, Miss Eckhart's metronome, and anyone's P.O.

Other possibilities:
What is the relationship between small town southern society and a handcrafted breadboard? How does Eudora Welty's treatment of ordinary objects provide insights into American/Southern culture?
