Where Are We Now: Margins and Moves in Women’s
Writings<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Carol Shields
earned critical
praise for extending and crossing boundaries, for bringing to the
centre of
serious literary examination those aspects of women’s lives that had
been “in
the margins.” In a 1990 interview with Harvey DeRoo, Carol spoke of
setting out
to “write the kind of novel (I) can’t find on the library shelf” and of
experimenting in her short fiction with “different narrative
approaches.” She
also told of resting comfortably with her movement from genre to genre
and from
a woman narrator’s perspective to a man’s (<i style="">Larry’s
Party</i>). In her words, “there is always some refreshment in taking a
different perspective.” In honour of Carol and her creative impulses we
invite Symposium
presentations on any of the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
