By taking a broad approach to definitions of queerness, we will discuss Romanticism in relation to liminality, non-normative genders and transgressive sexualities. With papers discussing everything from atoms, plants and snakes to Romantic theatre, women\u2019s Gothic and challenges to settler-colonialism, this event provides a focal point for work on queer Romanticism that is often hidden within other fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The symposium is open to all BARS members \u2013 a Zoom link will be circulated to the membership ahead of the event.&nbsp; If you would like to attend, you can join BARS <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/main\/index.php\/how-to-join\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All times given are in BST (UTC+1:00)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15:00 \u2013 15:10: Welcome and Opening Remarks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15:10 \u2013 16:30: Panel 1: Deviations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chair: Matthew Sangster<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James Metcalf \u2013 Queering the Clinamen: Ann Yearsley\u2019s Atoms and the Poetics of the Possible<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebekah Musk \u2013 \u2018A Flower\u2019s Life\u2019: Rethinking Queer Temporalities in Letitia Elizabeth Landon\u2019s \u2018A History of the Lyre\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matteo Schiavone \u2013 \u2018She Weepeth On Eternally\u2019: Reading Letitia Elizabeth Landon\u2019s Abandoned Women as Queer Characters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greta Colombani \u2013 Queering the Snake Woman: Non-Normative Identities and Desires in John Keats\u2019s \u2018Lamia\u2019 and Letitia Elizabeth Landon\u2019s \u2018The Fairy of the Fountains\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>16:30 \u2013 17:00: Break<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>17:00 \u2013 18:00 Panel 2: Gender and Bodies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chair: Rebekah Musk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kate Singer \u2013 Female Sailors &amp; Transatlantic Angst<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jolene Zigarovich \u2013 Queer Theory: Questioning the Binary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexandra E.
