 GDaQqzDu-1z-AJuL0xYw_\n\nAs part of our ongoing effort to sustain intellec
 tual community and enable scholarly exchange\, and in order to support and
  encourage the work many of us are doing in a range of public forums durin
 g this unprecedented time\, the UCLA Center for 17th- &amp\; 18th-Century 
 Studies and William Andrews Clark Memorial Library are hosting works-in-pr
 ogress sessions and panel discussions online via Zoom during the 2020–21
  academic year. Academic programs supported by the Center/Clark explore th
 e latest research in the early modern period (including the long eighteent
 h century\, which extends through the Romantic period) and in special area
 s represented in the Clark’s collections.\n\nJoseph Torres analyzes the 
 repertoire of tactics by which writers and their creations can alter\, ref
 orm\, or adapt extant worlds\; he calls this process world-remaking. Durin
 g this work-in-progress session\, he will discuss how his prime case study
 \, Andrew Marvell’s "Upon Appleton House\," takes a modal rather than bi
 nary perspective on human insufficiency\; it revisits moments of failure f
 rom various received traditions\, then deforms and displaces their compone
 nts to recuperate and redeploy original textual meanings in uncanny ways. 
 Because the world of Nun Appleton is recurrently remade in an unorthodox s
 tate of interfusion\, he argues that "Upon Appleton House" exemplifies a v
 ision of early modern poetic experimentalism that recognizes forms of fail
 ure as legitimate modes of world-remaking.\n\nJoseph’s paper will be pre
 -circulated to registrants.\n\nJoseph Torres is a second-year Ph.D. stude
 nt in the UCLA Department of English. He received a B.A. in English from t
 he University of California\, Berkeley and an M.A. in the Humanities from 
 the University of Chicago. Additionally\, Joseph studied Renaissance texts
 \, Latin translation\, and digital humanities at Trinity College Dublin. H
 is research focuses on modes of world-remaking in early modern English lit
 erature.
