Center for Cultural Analysis (CCA)

The first meeting of the CCA sponsored working group, Experiencing the Salon will explore the salon beyond Paris. We'll base our discussion on these three articles/chapters:
 

• Gillen D'Arcy Wood, "The Female Penseroso: Anna Seward, Sociable Poetry, and the Handelian Consensus," Modern Language Quarterly 67:4 (December 2006).
• Wendy Wassying Roworth, "Residence of the Arts: Angelica Kauffman's Place in Rome," in Italy's Eighteenth Century, edited by Paula Findlen, et al., Stanford University Press, 2009.
• Lianne Weissberg, "Literary Culture and Jewish Space around 1800: The Berlin Salon Revisited," in Modern Jewish Literatures : Intersections and Boundaries, edited by Sheila E. Jelen, et al., University of Pennsylvania Press, 2010.

All three articles/chapters are available under "resources" on our Sakai site.
