BARS Resources

The British Association for Romantic Studies (BARS) was set up in 1989 by academics to promote the study of the cultural history of the Romantic period. Since then, BARS has organised eight International conferences at various locations in the UK , has published the BARS Bulletin and Review twice-yearly, and currently has more than 420 members.
