Byron and the Romantic World is the latest collaborative postgraduate conference hosted by Keele University and Edge Hill University. The conference is an annual event which welcomes new scholars on Byron and Romanticism into the field with a friendly and convivial one-day event which is free to all delegates. We welcome papers from postgraduate students working on Byron, and Romanticism more broadly, as well as undergraduate students who are thinking about undertaking further study.

The conference is organised by postgraduate representatives of both Keele and Edge Hill; this year the conference will take place in the Old Library in Keele Hall, Keele University, on 30th September 2016.

Please send abstracts of up to 250 words to: byronromanticworld@gmail.com. The deadline for Abstracts: 27th May 2016 – we aim to notify successful applicants by the end of June. Selected papers will be considered for a special issue of the Keele Humanities journal, Under Construction@Keele. More information will appear on our ByRom Blog (byromblog.wordpress.com) shortly.

We look forward to seeing many of you there!
