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 in a systematic manner the
European reception of the poet since his death. 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.
The colloquium is a British Association for Romantic Studies Day
Conference. It is subsidized by University College, Oxford, and
supported by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and the Reception of
British and Irish Authors in Europe Research Project (RBAE).
The organizers of the colloquium are Dr Jon Mee (University of Oxford),
Dr Michael Rossington (University of Newcastle upon Tyne) and Dr
Susanne Schmid (University of Frankfurt).
University College Oxford is a singularly appropriate venue for the
colloquium in light of its Shelleyan associations and its recent
acquisition of highly significant Shelley manuscripts. The Colloquium
will take place in the Swire Seminar Room, 12 Merton Street.
