Accompanied by senior English majors Christina Cox, Shannon Birch, and Bailey Meeks, Dr. Scanlon recently attended the H.D. and Feminist Poetics Conference, where she presented the paper “Charlotte Mew, H.D., and the Magdalen: ‘what she did everyone knows.'” The paper examined the Magdalen figures in two poems, not only analyzing the representations of their sexual bodies and the visions they enable for male prophets, but also situating the publications in their wartime contexts, in which the crucified Christ becomes a figure for wounded or sacrificial soldiers.
