The organizer invites submissions that analyze works by eighteenth and nineteenth-century women writers that explore ghost-seeing, supernatural visions, and the invisible. In recent years, scholars such as Shane McCorristine, Srdjan Smajic, and Sarah Willburn have explored the significance of ghost-seeing in England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. At the time, people emphasized the importance of the sense of sight to ghostly encounters through phrases such as \u201cghost-seeing,\u201d \u201csecond sight,\u201d and \u201csixth sense.\u201d Scientists also debated whether the alleged ghosts that witnesses glimpsed were the result of visionary, psychological, or imaginative factors.\u00a0\u00a0This session will participate in the emerging critical conversation on women\u2018s Gothic, folklore, and ghost stories and recognize the centrality of this female literary tradition to the British canon.
