Session Description:
Richard Maxwell's untimely death in 2010 cut short the career of an innovative literary historian. Maxwell's address to the novel broke away from the boundaries that confine scholars to nation-centered contexts and that also reduce literary history to intellectually inhibiting period constructs. The roundtable assesses how Maxwell's approach to literary history and to history stimulates current scholarship.
