ROMANTIC CORRESPONDENCE(S)
A ONE-DAY CONFERENCE HELD BY THE CENTRE FOR REGIONAL CULTURES, SCHOOL OF ENGLISH
STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM AND THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, NOTTINGHAM TRENT
UNIVERSITY,
IN ASSOCIATION WITH NEWSTEAD ABBEY AND THE MIDLANDS ROMANTIC SEMINAR.
NEWSTEAD ABBEY
FRIDAY, 4 NOVEMBER 2005
In the past decade and a half, scholarship on late eighteenth- and early
nineteenth-century writing has highlighted both the narrowness of traditional
conceptions of ‘Romanticism’ and the possibilities inherent in activities such
as expanding the canon and rehistoricising authors, texts and contexts. In so
doing, the multiple correspondences and connections of romantic period culture
are finally starting to be revealed.
The organisers, Tim Fulford (NTU) and Lynda Pratt (University of Nottingham),
invite proposals for papers on all aspects of romantic correspondence(s).
Topics for discussion could include: connections between canonical,
non-canonical, male and female writers; European and/or transatlantic
Romanticism; the influence of romantic period authors on later writers;
letter-writing; editing the correspondence of romantic period authors; genre;
Romanticism and history, science or exploration.
The conference will be held at Newstead Abbey, the magnificent ancestral home of
Lord Byron.
Plenary papers will be delivered by: Professor Pamela Clemit (University of
Durham), Professor Marilyn Gaull (New York University), Professor John
Goodridge (NTU) and Professor Caroline Franklin (University of Wales, Swansea).
Proposals for papers (c. 250 words) should be sent by 16 September 2005 to Dr
Lynda Pratt, School of English Studies, University of Nottingham, University
Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD ([log in to unmask]) or Professor Tim
Fulford, English Department, College of Communication, Culture and Education,
Nottingham Trent University, Clifton Lane, Clifton, Nottingham, NG 11 8NS
