This symposium examines Romanticism as a shape-shifting cultural phenomenon that resists easy categorization. Focusing on the period from 1760 to 1860, the symposium embraces the amorphousness that has been ascribed to Romanticism historically by eschewing any limiting definition of it, seeking instead to explore the broad range of art and visual culture characterized as \u201cRomantic\u201d during this hundred-year span. We are interested in what the Romantic \u201ceye\u201d pursued and perceived, and how it set itself the task of recording those perceptions. In addition to interrogations of the relationship between the visual arts and Romanticism, we\u00a0welcome papers on writers, composers, scientists, and philosophers whose projects engaged the visual. Papers also are sought for a special panel that will address the legacies of Romanticism in contemporary art.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This symposium coincides with a major collaborative exhibition organized by the Yale Center for British Art and the Yale University Art Gallery, <\/span><\/span>The Critique of Reason: Romantic Art, 1760\u20131860<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/a>, which opens March 6, 2015. The exhibition comprises more than three hundred paintings, sculptures, medals, watercolors, drawings, prints, and photographs by such iconic artists as William Blake, John Constable, Honor\u00e9 Daumier, David d\u2019Angers, Eug\u00e8ne Delacroix, Henry Fuseli, Th\u00e9odore G\u00e9ricault, Francisco de Goya, John Martin, and J. M. W. Turner. Talks that respond explicitly to works in the collections of the Yale Center for British Art or the Yale University Art Gallery are particularly encouraged, as are cross-disciplinary and comparative studies.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are seeking presentations of thirty minutes in length. Graduate students and early career scholars are particularly encouraged to apply. Travel and accommodation costs will be covered by the organizers. Please e-mail abstracts of no more than three hundred words and a short CV or bio (no more than two pages) by February 2, 2015, to <\/span><\/span>romanticism2015@gmail.com.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n
