| dc.description.abstract | In Charles Dickens's novels, nervous seizures trigger dreamy, clairvoyant episodes in which normally imperceptible connections and relations among events and characters come to light. During such episodes, which the neurologist John Hughlings Jackson would describe as "voluminous" states of consciousness, the boundaries of the self dissolve, and the mind becomes attuned to a range of possible identities or phantom selves. The specters unleashed in this state of nervous "dissolution" haunt Bleak House even as they illuminate relations among members of vastly different social worlds and the great institutional forces that affect the most curious events of the mind. | |

Dear Prof. Neill,
Thank you for your inquiry. The Open Access staff at KU is correct. SEL is happy to authorize your putting up the version of your essay, "Evolution and Epilepsy in Bleak House," that was accepted by SEL. This would be the version preceding any editorial revisions made by you in consultation with our copy-editors. You will want to indicate the volume, issue, and date of publication. You can also include a link to Project Muse and to the SEL website, so that interested parties know how to obtain access to the published version:
Project Muse: http://muse.jhu.edu
SEL web: http://www.sel.rice.edu
For your convenience, I have attached a copy of the final manuscript that you sent to SEL, prior to copy-editing. I hope this is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.
Best wishes,
Becky Byron
Associate Editor/Business Manager

Dear Kay,
Best new year wishes for 2014.
I'm writing to ask whether I might have permission to upload the published version of my article, "Evolution and Epilepsy in Bleak House," (2011) to KU ScholarWorks, the institutional open access repository for faculty scholarship at the University of Kansas. Open Access staff at the University library have determined that SEL allows an author to publish the final manuscript version of an article, but I'm not sure I still have that on file, and I would much rather put up the published version if I can have permission to do so.
With many thanks,
Anna Neill | |
