THE MODERN LANGUAGE ASSOCIATION CONVENTION, CHICAGO, JANUARY 3-6, 2019
SESSION SPONSORED BY THE NORTH AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF ROMANTICISM (NASSR)
Proposals are invited for the following guaranteed session sponsored by NASSR at the 2019 MLA. NASSR is an MLA-affiliated organisation.
TRANSATLANTIC ROMANTICISMS REVIEWED
The session explores new ways of thinking about British and European Romantic writing with a transatlantic period context or significance, or that contributes to current debates with a transatlantic studies perspective. We are keen to receive proposals for papers that address any of the following: (a) innovative areas of investigation in Romantic poetry and prose, especially where there is an establishment or critique of American connections (b) new critical approaches (c) theoretical positions. The aim of the panel is to generate original discussion about transatlantic aspects of Romanticism as we approach the third decade of the 21st century.
Please send abstracts (maximum of 350-words) and a short resumé explaining your interest in the session topic by 18th March 2018 to Susan Oliver at soliver@essex.ac.uk
