International Colloquium on the Reception of P. B. Shelley in Europe
Saturday, 8 July 2006, University College, Oxford
The aim of the 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.
The Colloquium is a preparation for the volume on
THE RECEPTION OF P.B.SHELLEY in EUROPE, in the Series
on THE RECEPTION OF BRITISH AND IRISH AUTHORS IN EUROPE,
edited by Elinor Shaffer for Continuum Books (London
and New York), of which ten volumes have already
appeared(2002-). It forms part of a sub-group of volumes on
Romantic authors, including BYRON (2 vols), edited by
Richard Cardwell, which was published in 2005, and
COLERIDGE, edited by Elinor Shaffer and Edoardo Zuccato
(forthcoming in 2007).
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.
