May 25-28, San Francisco CA.
\nPanel: “Trauma, Grief, and Recovery in the Works of Susan Glaspell.”
\nChair: Mary E. Papke, University of Tennessee.<\/p>\n
Modernist artists of the 1910s and 1920s famously captured in their work the cultural trauma and mourning of those who lived through World War I. Susan Glaspell throughout her very long career focused on the legacy of that and other wars as well as on a number of other national political traumas and catastrophic individual losses. The range of trauma Glaspell explores is great, from the death of children (for instance, in The Verge<\/em>), the loss of family (Fugitive’s Return<\/em>), the loss of self in madness or self-erasure (The Road to the Temple<\/em>) to the loss of intellectual and political ideals (Inheritors<\/em>) and the national trauma suffered in wartime (Judd Rankin’s Daughter<\/em>). This panel explored specific cases of personal and collective trauma, loss, and, in some cases, recovery in the drama and fiction of Susan Glaspell.<\/p>\n Papers:\u00a0 “Glaspell, Freeman and Twain: Varied Voices in Magazine Fiction, 1913-1918,” Colette Lindroth, Caldwell College;<\/p>\n “Embodied Loss: Absence and Presence in Susan Glaspell’s Inheritors<\/em>,” Monica Stufft, University of California at Berkeley;<\/p>\n “The Deracinated Self: Immigrants and Orphans in Susan Glaspell’s Fiction,” Martha C.
