The International Conference
The BARS International Conference has a long history of successful four-day events attended by eminent Romanticists and emerging scholars from Britain and abroad. The conferences are held biennially in odd-numbered years and showcase the new work being done in the field of Romantic studies through panel sessions and addresses by invited plenary speakers. Conference programmes also typically include trips to Romantic locations and provide plenty of opportunities for conviviality, networking and the sharing of enthusiasms. Details of all the past International Conferences can be found below. In the past, BARS has occasionally organised additional conferences; these events are detailed at the bottom of the page. In addition to these events, BARS now organises regular Early Career and Postgraduate Conferences.

The 19th International Conference, Romantic Making and Unmaking, was held at the University of Glasgow and online in late July and early August 2024. More details can be found on the dedicated conference site.
