Abstract

This special section of invited contributions contains illustrated and expanded versions of the speeches given by Juliet McMaster and Christine Alexander during the Eighth International Literary Juvenilia Conference, held at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on 14 June 2023, as part of a "Special Session to Honor Juliet McMaster and Christine Alexander." McMaster discusses the origins of the Juvenilia Press, which she founded, origins that were rooted in her interest in children's writings. Alexander discusses the origins of her interest in literary juvenilia, beginning with her research and publication on the juvenilia of Charlotte Bronte, which was the foundation of her scholarly career and of her work with the Juvenilia Press, which she has directed for the past two decades.
