The
Center for British Studies and the English Department
at UC Berkeley are hosting a conference on "Scottish
Romanticism and World Literatures" from 7-10 September
2006, jointly organized by Ian Duncan and Murray Pittock.
Among the areas we are planning to address in the main
conference sessions are the impact of Scottish Romanticism
on European literatures, the Anglophone British Empire
and the United States; continuities between Scottish
Enlightenment and Romanticism; relations between Scotland
and Ireland, and between Scottish and English Romanticisms; "literature" and
the disciplines of the natural and human sciences; the
social environments of periodical culture, book production
and the literary market; tradition and genre; and sessions
on major authors.
