SUMMARY:British Romanticism and Europe
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speakers: Christoph Bode, Biancamaria Fontana, and Paul
  Hamilton\n\nBritish Romanticism is part of European Romanticism and Britis
 h writers drew inspiration from personal and cultural links with mainland E
 urope as well as the many forms of Continental travel. This international c
 onference will explore the manifold relations between Britain and Europe du
 ring the Romantic period, taking advantage of recent work on transnational 
 circulations and exchanges and a growing interest in comparative methodolog
 y. The conference will question stereotypes of Great Britain as insular by 
 highlighting the islandnation’s European identity and its participation in 
 a pan-European Romanticism shaped by transnational cultural dialogue and th
 e cross-fertilization of art forms and disciplines. The aim is to uncover t
 he channels and mechanisms by which Romantic ideas and influences were conv
 eyed across national and disciplinary boundaries and to examine the role of
  individuals, communities and institutions in this complex transmission pro
 cess. As well as directing attention to the often-overlooked international 
 dimension of British Romanticism, the conference aims, by bringing together
  scholars working in Britain and on mainland Europe, to help develop the ex
 panding research network on European Romanticism. Held at Monte Verità, an 
 international conference centre in Ascona in the Swiss canton of Ticino whi
 ch was formerly the site of a utopian community attracting intellectuals fr
 om across Europe, the conference will be divided between plenary lectures, 
 invited panels, and open panel sessions. There will also be a public round-
 table discussion on British Romanticism and the Italian Lakes, as well as a
 n excursion to Lake Como.\n\nThere will be nine invited panel sessions on t
 he following topics: British Romanticism and Italy, British Romanticism and
  Scandinavia, British Romanticism and France, European Romantic Historicism
 , late Romanticism, travel and material culture, Romanticism and the enviro
 nment, Romantic women’s networks, and European Romanticism and / in Britain
 .
