 <\/p>\n

There were 21 nominations received by the deadline of 31st January, and it has been a pleasure and a privilege for us to read and discuss the wealth of impressive work in the field. Aside from general excellence and originality, a crucial criterion for this prize has been an interdisciplinary approach. Interdisciplinarity has been a hallmark of BARS from its inception. All of the shortlisted books conduct interdisciplinary research in imaginative and rigorous ways, and excitingly redefine our understanding of \u2018Romanticism\u2019.<\/p>\n

The winner of the 2015 prize will be announced at the BARS biennial conference \u2018Romantic Imprints<\/a>\u2019 at Cardiff University, at the opening wine reception on Thursday, 16th July.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the shortlisted authors!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
