The BARS Blog is the blog of the British Association for Romantic Studies (BARS), the UK’s leading national organisation for promoting the study of Romanticism. The blog is maintained by the society in order to share news and information about developments in the field.
We would be excited to hear from potential contributors who would like to have their work published on the BARS Blog and shared on our popular social media pages. We also have an active TikTok page where we post short videos! We would be particularly thrilled to hear from PGR/ECR colleagues who would like to get involved!
Our regular blog series include:
– Romantic Poets in the Wild. This is a series that features creative writers, artists, and creative-critical writers who have been inspired by the Romantics and Romantic writing—broadly defined of course—and who will be in dialogue with our BARS blog communications team about their work and creative process.
– #OnThisDay – focusing on Romantic bicentenaries. The premise of the blog is to give readers a snapshot of 1826 in 2026, relevant to that month or even that particular day.
– PGR/ECR Spotlight – We would love to hear from postgraduate and early career researchers about your research! Get in touch with us if this is of interest!
– Romantic Reimaginings: This series aims to question and explore Romanticism in the twenty-first century.
– If you have your own idea for a blog post, please get in touch!
