</a>Keynotes: Dr David James (University of Nottingham) and Prof Peter
Boxall (University of Sussex)<br><br>
The first decade of the new millennium witnessed a range of exciting
developments in English Literature. From innovations in recognised forms
such as the novel, poem, play and short story to developments in
blogging, digital writings, new media, creative writing and new genre and
trends from Steampunk to Slash, Nordic Noir to Faction. Alongside these
developments, the publishing industry also changed, with technological
advances giving rise to the dawn of the eBook and corporate sponsorship
igniting debates about the usefulness of literary prizes and
festivals.<br><br>
This unique one day event will reflect on the teaching of post-millennial
literature in HE and FE to offer the emerging field of twenty-first
century literature as a new and directional source of understanding and
creative inspiration for contemporary students and scholars.<br><br>
Proposals for 20 minute papers may address, but are not limited
to:<br><br>
* Post-Millennial forms, genres and trends<br>
* New authors<br>
* Literary prizes and festivals<br>
* Adaptations and innovations<br>
* Digital writings and publishing<br>
* Book clubs<br>
* Creative writing<br><br>
For those giving papers, all travel expenses will be covered by the
HEA<br><br>
For those wishing to attend, the symposium - including refreshments and
lunch - is free, but spaces are strictly limited and early registration
is vital<br><br>
