Long Nineteenth-Century Network

Description

Manchester’s fascinating history and wide range of regional and diasporic communities make it the ideal place to explore the nineteenth century.

The Long Nineteenth-Century Network brings together academics and students specialising in history, literature and the arts.

Researchers’ expertise spans from the early Romantic period up to the onset of the First World War, as well as Neo-Victorianism. They work closely with a number of centres at Manchester and the Special Collections Museum. A nineteenth-century research group has been active in the English Department since 2014, organising public events, exhibitions and reading groups.

The Network hosts the North West Long Nineteenth-Century Seminar three times a year. There is a vibrant community of postgraduates, and Master and PhD students are encouraged to collaborate and get involved with the centre. The Network also offers a range of specialist units on MA programmes.

Cultural partners include:

• Elizabeth Gaskell’s House and the Gaskell Society
• the People’s History Museum
• the Science and Industry Museum
• the Portico Library
• the Guild of St George
• Manchester Art Gallery
• Manchester Histories
• Ordsall Hall, Salford
• Brontë Parsonage Museum, Haworth
• Speke Hall, Liverpool
• Bury Art Museum and Sculpture Centre
