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.
