1799: ENDINGS & BEGINNINGS
The Department of English at the University of Bristol is hosting the
Eighth One-Day Romantic Studies Conference on
Saturday, 13 November 1999.
This conference is scheduled to take place near the end of the year, the
decade, the century and the millenium. This provides an
appropriate moment to consider the way in which the 1790s were regarded
by those who lived through them. In particular,
contributors are encouraged to explore the ways in which writers of this
period were concerned with endings, with new
beginnings, with the formal challenges presented by the consciousness of
this phase in history, and with the anxieties generated
by a fin de siecle. Comparisons between the 1790s and other final
decades or years are invited. Papers on 1799 itself would
be particularly welcome, and should be scheduled to last for 20 minutes.
Proposals for papers on these or related topics to arrive, if possible,
by 29 October 1999. Please send to: Professor T
Webb/Romantic Correspondence, Department of English, University of
Bristol, 3/5 Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1TB. Phone:
0117 9287786. Fax: 0117 9288860. E-mail:
