'Byron at Home', Newstead Abbey, 3 May 2014
The 10th Annual Byron Day Conference of the Newstead Byron Society & Nottingham Trent University
Plenary lecture by Bernard Beatty (Liverpool & St Andrews)
Encouraging a wide variety of approaches, this conference seeks to explore the ways in which Byron relates to the topic of being at home, both literally - at his various homes and households across Britain and Europe - and metaphorically, in the sense of feeling at home as a writer, thinker
or political activist.
Paper topics may address, but are not limited to, the following:
* Byron’s homes & households
* Byron & domesticity
* domestic scenes in Byron
* Byron at home & abroad
* Byron heimlich & unheimlich
* the importance of genius loci in Byron
* place & displacement in Byron
* homes & family under attack in Byron
* Byron at home in a particular poetic style, mood or form
* the politics of appropriation/assimilation in Byron
* Byron at home in the English and European literary canon
* leaving and home-coming in Byron
Please submit abstracts of approx. 300 words to Mirka Horova at [log in to unmask] by 31 January 2014.
There will be a reading and dinner on the evening of Friday 2 May at the 281 Restaurant&Rooms hotel.
