The 2008 International Conference on Romanticism

The conference will be held Oct 16-19, 2008 at Oakland University, Rochester, Mich.

We invite participants to consider the Work of Romanticism, interpreted as broadly as possible. Thus, topics may include, but are not limited to working (agricultural, industrial, political, social, etc.); the text as work (e.g., editions, textual variants, the text per se, etc.); (re-)productive labor; the work of Romanticists; responses to works (e.g., reception, intertextuality, etc.) literary, artistic or intellectual labor; and leisure (including idleness, indolence, vacation, travel, retirement, etc.)

Plenary speakers: Anne Mellor, and Ray Fleming
