Romanticism, History, Historicism
University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK
18-22 June 2004
Plenary Speakers:
Alan Bewell, Tom Paulin, Kenneth R. Johnston,
Marjorie Levinson, Alan Liu, Anne Mellor,
Nicholas Roe, Susan Wolfson
This international conference represents a significant opportunity to take stock
of the orthodoxy within which, or against which, Romanticists have been writing
for the last quarter of a century. How have New Historicist approaches shaped
our understanding of – for example – gender, authorship, canon formation,
editorial issues, and the relationship between text, culture, and politics in
the Romantic period?
Delegates are invited to submit 250-word abstracts of papers exploring any
aspect of our response to Romanticism’s engagement with history. We welcome a
variety of critical approaches to the subject. The deadline for abstracts is 15
March 2004, but delegates are advised to submit abstracts as early as
possible.
Postgraduates are encouraged to submit papers. There will also be an opportunity
to showcase postgraduate research in the form of ‘posters’.
Informal queries are welcome.
