BARS Postgraduate Day Conference: Romantic Performances: 2 November
2002,
Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies, University of York
Don't forget that this year the BARS Postgraduate Conference will be
held on
Saturday 2nd November at the University of York in the King's Manor, a
historic building in the centre of the city and home to the
University's
Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies. This one-day conference aims
to
bring postgraduates and staff together from across the UK and around
the
globe in order to share thoughts on life as a postgraduate Romanticist
and
discuss a range of ideas generated by the theme of 'Romantic
Performances.'
Interpreting the conference theme liberally, papers will be concerned
with a
wide range of literary texts, from dramas to lyrics, newspapers to
diaries,
and an interdisciplinary approach is encouraged.
Some of the specific topics to be addressed include:
- Society and tragic form
- Theatrical biography in the nineteenth-century periodical
- The performance of selfhood
- Dramatic spectacle on the stage and in the Royal Academy exhibition
space
- The theatricality of the radical press
- Musico-dramatic tropes in dramatic poetry
- The Byronic Hero
- The relation between canonical writers and the popular theatre
- Stage silence and the dramatisation of thought
- Shakespeare and the Romantic critic
The day will conclude with an open discussion of the themes of the
conference and, after the close of the conference, the University of
York
CECS Postgraduate Group will host a social gathering, which all
delegates
are warmly encouraged to attend.
