Forthcoming Conference
Romantic Orientalism
Gregynog, Powys, Wales, 12-15 July 2002.
The plenary speakers are Rosane Rocher (Pennsylvania), P.J. Marshall
(London), Nigel Leask (Cambridge), Tim Fulford (Nottingham Trent) and Peter
Kitson (Dundee).
The aim of this conference is to focus a post-Saidian scrutiny upon the
cultural, political, commercial, and aesthetic dimensions of the
synchronous growth of Romanticism and Orientalism. The European Romantic
imagination was saturated with Orientalism, but it reflected persistent
ambivalence concerning the East, complicated in Britain by colonial anxiety
and imperial guilt. We shall consider how Western notions of cultural
hegemony were bolstered by imperial rhetoric and challenged by
intercultural translation.
Delegates include Shyamal Bagchee, Paul Courtright, Marilyn Gaull, Abdul
Kidwai, Mark Lussier, Saree Makdisi, Jon Mee, Anne Mellor, Ashton Nichols,
Daniel O'Quinn, Lynda Pratt, Diego Saglia, and Michael Simpson, Further
