Literary Art and Moral Instruction in the Novels of Anne Bront & euml;

Marianne Thormahlen

Summary: In her time, Anne Bronte was considered inferior to her older sisters as a writer. This perception persisted for a century until recently, due to critics resisting perceived moral messages in literature. However, this keynote address argues that Anne Bronte was not inferior to her sisters, highlighting her skills in characterisation, observation, psychology, style, nuance in human behavior analysis, and even narrative structure.

Singular Modes: The Politics of Dress in Cavendish, Evelyn, and Hutchinson

Katharine Landers

Summary: Margaret Cavendish and Lucy Hutchinson's sartorial presentations, often seen as apolitical, are argued in this essay to be politically charged and comparable. Both writers use fashion as a way to express intra-party dissent and push back against standardized fashion as a symbol of bureaucratic power. Analyzing their works reveals a powerful rhetoric of dress that goes beyond stereotypes and helps our understanding of their sartorial sensibilities.

Non-Atomic Atomisms and Atomic Epistemologies in the Poetry of Margaret Cavendish and Lucy Hutchinson

Liza Blake

Summary: This essay argues that Margaret Cavendish and Lucy Hutchinson were not atomists and did not believe in atomic matter making up the universe. However, both poets engage with atomism in their poetry, not due to philosophical beliefs, but because it helps them explore questions of knowledge, including in the realm of theology. Their poetic engagements with atomic philosophy allow them to go beyond empiricism in their epistemologies.

Margaret Cavendish Reads Josuah Sylvester: Epicurus, Atheism, and Atomic Skepticism in Poems, and Fancies

Justin Begley

Summary: Scholars commonly associate the atomic ideas in Margaret Cavendish's Poems, and Fancies (1653) with Lucy Hutchinson's contemporaneous manuscript translation of Lucretius' De rerum natura. While Hutchinson denounces Lucretius' doctrines, Cavendish is believed to embrace them. However, this essay argues that Cavendish was not a committed atomist and gives a fair hearing to atomism based on other ancient philosophies. The essay also discusses Cavendish's appraisal of Epicurean ethics, which portrays a more positive depiction compared to Sylvester's negative view, concluding that Cavendish's views were less heterodox than assumed and more orthodox than Hutchinson's.

Lucy Hutchinson's and Margaret Cavendish's Petitionary Lives

Laura De Furio

Summary: Margaret Cavendish and Lucy Hutchinson utilized similar writing strategies in composing biographies of their husbands, critiquing the autocratic tendencies of Charles II during the early years of the Restoration. They presented themselves as advocates for constitutional monarchy and the preservation of English citizens' rights, challenging the scholarly tendency to categorize their works as romantic novels rather than political treatises.

transeant Things: Materialism and Mortality in the Lyrics of Lucy Hutchinson and Margaret Cavendish

Jessie Hock

Summary: In this essay, the author argues that Margaret Cavendish and Lucy Hutchinson engage with Lucretius in a hybrid and non-dogmatic way, using his ideas about poetry and mortality to think about memory, memorialization, and afterlives. Their focus is not on atomism's physical system, but on the capacity of lyric poetry to depict the experience of change and loss in mortal life. Hutchinson's elegies affirm both erotic love and lyric poetry through her appreciation for and dwelling with transient things.
