Dear BARS members,
Happy New Year!
I write as Treasurer and Membership Secretary to thank you for your continued support of BARS during this last year and to remind you, if you have not already renewed, that your membership is due for renewal on 1 January for 2019. BARS membership runs from 1 January to 31 December each year, regardless of the month of joining BARS. The annual subscription is £25 (waged) or £10 (unwaged and/or postgraduate).
Your membership will ensure BARS' continuing work connecting Romanticists in Britain, Europe, the United States, Australasia and the wider world. As a BARS member, you are invited to BARS International Conferences and EC & PG events. Renewal of your membership will also ensure the continuation of your subscription to the BARS Electronic Mailbase. You will also be eligible to apply for:
• BARS funding in the form of conference and seminar subventions and bursaries. BARS
is happy to consider requests for up to £300. See our webpage for further details:

Awards and Prizes:
• BARS’ longest-running scheme is the Stephen Copley Research Awards, named for one of the Association’s founders and established in order to allow postgraduates and early career scholars to travel to relevant libraries and archives. A number of awards are made each year; the maximum sum that an individual can apply for is £300.
• In 2014, BARS established its First Book Prize, which is awarded biennially at the International Conference to the author of the best first monograph in Romantic Studies. The prize comes with a cash award of £250.
• In 2016, BARS established the BARS/Wordsworth Trust Early Career Fellowship in collaboration with the Wordsworth Trust. This fellowship provides accommodation for a month in Grasmere and financial support towards travel to allow an early career researcher to work with the Trust on audience engagement and create a plan of their own to engage new audiences.
• Also in 2016, BARS began a new collaboration with the British Association for Victorian Studies (BAVS) on the Nineteenth-Century Matters scheme, for which both organisations work with a host institution to provide an otherwise-unaffiliated postdoctoral researcher with a platform from which to organise professionalization workshops and research seminars on a theme related to nineteenth-century studies
Membership makes you automatically eligible to participate in the next biennial conference at the University of Nottingham in July 2019: the theme is ‘Romantic Facts and Fantasies’.
