Proposals are invited for the 2015 British Association for Romantic Studies international conference which will be held at Cardiff University<\/a>, Wales (UK) on 16\u201319 July 2015. \u00a0The theme of the interdisciplinary conference is Romantic Imprints, broadly understood to include the various literary, cultural, historical and political manifestations of Romantic print culture across Europe, the Americas and the rest of the world.\u00a0 Our focus will fall on the ways in which the culture of the period was conscious of itself as functioning within and through, or as opposed to, the medium of print.\u00a0 The conference location in the Welsh capital provides a special opportunity to foreground the Welsh inflections of Romanticism within the remit of the conference\u2019s wider theme.\u00a0 The two-hundredth anniversary of Waterloo also brings with it the chance of thinking about how Waterloo was represented within and beyond print.<\/p>\n

The confirmed keynote speakers for Romantic Imprints will be John Barrell<\/a> (Queen Mary, London), James Chandler<\/a> (Chicago), Claire Connolly<\/a> (Cork), Peter Garside<\/a> (Edinburgh) and Devoney Looser<\/a> (Arizona State).<\/p>\n
