Keats House Museum, London, 28-29 June 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Call for Papers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Two years after the death of Percy Bysshe Shelley in the summer of 1822, Mary Shelley, after a painstaking editorial process, published Posthumous Poems <\/em>(1824). The volume contained much of Shelley\u2019s major poetry, including the hitherto unpublished \u2018Julian and Maddalo\u2019, together with translations of Goethe and\u00a0Calder\u00f3n, and unfinished compositions such as \u2018The Triumph of Life\u2019 and \u2018Charles the First\u2019. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Shelley Conference 2024 celebrates the first collected volume of Shelley\u2019s poetry. Posthumous Poems<\/em> is the product of collaborations. The most significant of these is between Mary Shelley as editor and Shelley as poet, but they also occur between Shelley and the guarantors of the volume, including Bryan Waller Procter (\u2018Barry Cornwall\u2019) and Thomas Lovell Beddoes. The conference also addresses ideas of posterity\u00a0and reception more generally in Shelley scholarship, the range of literary forms collected in a single volume, and the complex collaborative literary relationships that shaped Shelley\u2019s life and endured after his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The conference will be held at Keats House Museum in Hampstead, London. Proposals should be in the form of 200-word abstracts for 15-minute papers. Please include a 100-word biography with your proposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Papers are invited on themes including, but not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Posthumous Poems<\/em>, its texts and history<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf New readings of key poems and of Posthumous Poems<\/em> as a collection<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Mary Shelley as editor <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Posterity and futurity as themes in Shelley\u2019s work<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Texts in dialogue with Shelley\u2019s work, particularly by those in his circle who survived him <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Shelley\u2019s engagement with Europe and European literature<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf The nature and limits of the collaborative process<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Shelley\u2019s reception outside of Britain or in languages other than English <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Shelley and Byron<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Shelley and piracy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deadline<\/strong>: Please email proposals in Word to\u00a0shelleyconference@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0by Monday 29 January 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bursaries<\/strong>: Several bursaries will be available for postgraduate and early-career researchers presenting \u00a0papers.
