2010 Graduate Symposium:

Reading the Long Nineteenth Century

The call is out for submissions for this year’s Graduate Symposium, which will take place at the College Terrace on April 22, 2010. This year’s event will focus on work that extends the boundaries of what we call the nineteenth century.

Over the last several decades, scholars of British literature and culture have begun to think outside the limits of distinct “Romantic” and “Victorian” periods, offering instead the model of a “long nineteenth century” extending from the French Revolution (1789) to the outbreak of World War I (1914). Our symposium this year will explore this liberating historical space, offering new ways of “Reading the Long Nineteenth Century.” Romanticist Jackie George and Victorianist Jed Mayer are co-directing this year’s symposium, which they see as an outgrowth of connections made by themselves and their students that call into question the specialization of fields.

Graduate students are invited to submit 10-page essays on topics ranging from British literature and culture in the late-eighteenth century to the early twentieth. Papers will be accepted for consideration until February 19, 2010. Please send all inquiries to engsymp@newpaltz.edu.

CALLING ALL WRITERS!

Have you ever experienced the thrill of getting feedback
for your stories, poems, plays, screenplays, etc.? Do you
ever wish you could get an honest opinion rather than that
junk that your family and friends throw at you? Do you
struggle with writer’s block? Are you distracting yourself
right now thinking of a million ways that I could have
made this paragraph more interesting?

Workshop is a club in which writers can give and receive
feedback for their work in a laid-back, non-academic
environment. Bring in your work and listen to your peers
critique it and discuss it as a group. At the end of every
workshop, there will be a creative writing exercise in
case you need some spark of the imagination.

Mondays. 7:00 p.m. SUB 402.

Check it out. And most importantly,
BRING YOUR WORK!!!! Or, you can email me your work at
kshannon18@newpaltz.edu. I’ll make copies and we can
critique it at the next meeting. You can contribute your
work anonymously if you want! See you there!
