International colloquium on the Reception of Percy Bysshe Shelley in Europe
Saturday 8 July 2006, University College, Oxford
The aim of this colloquium is to analyse the European reception of the poet
Percy Bysshe Shelley since his death in a systematic manner. The widespread
and culturally significant impact of Shelley’s writings in Europe
especially in the nineteenth century constitutes a particularly interesting
case for a reception study. University College, Oxford is a singularly
appropriate venue for this event in light of its Shelleyan associations and
its recent acquisition of highly significant Shelley manuscripts. The
organizers of the event are Dr Jon Mee (University College, Oxford), Dr
Michael Rossington (University of Newcastle upon Tyne) and Dr Susanne
Schmid (University of Frankfurt). It is expected that a dozen or so
twenty-minute papers will be delivered on Shelley’s reception in such
places as Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Scandinavia, and Spain as well as on issues such as the musical
settings of Shelley’s writings and their relationship to Book History. A
provisional programme will be announced by 31 March as will details of how
to register. The full delegate fee will be £30, the discounted rate for
students £15.
