London-Paris Romanticism Seminar

Description

The London-Paris Romanticism Seminar is an international research forum devoted to British Romantic literature, its European connections and the broader culture of the Romantic period. Founded in 2016, the forum is a collaboration between Queen Mary University of London, four other colleges of the University of London (Birkbeck, Goldsmiths, King's and UCL) and a number of French institutions and organisations, including the École Normale Supérieure (Paris), Sorbonne Université, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Université Paris Cité and the Société d'Études du Romantisme Anglais.

The London seminar, organised by a steering group of Romanticists from the London area, meets monthly on a late Friday afternoon in Senate House, University of London, and is open to everyone, including postgraduates and members of the public, with free admission. Some seminars involve the pairing of speakers from different countries, a key aim of the series being to foster dialogue between Romanticists in the UK and scholars from abroad. The Paris symposium is organised by a steering group of Romanticists from French institutions, with assistance from the Société d'Études du Romantisme Anglais and in liaison with the London team, and the forum also runs an international graduate summer school.
