Call for Papers:

One-Day Symposium:
"New UK Research in Nineteenth-Century Russian Literature"
co-organised by Dr. Katherine Bowers and Dr. Sarah Young

This symposium seeks to showcase new research on nineteenth-century Russian
literature being done in the UK at present. In the past, the UK has made
strong contributions to the study of the nineteenth century, but in recent
years this field of study has become less visible. We propose to hold a
meeting of nineteenth-century Russian literature researchers to present
current research, facilitate productive discussion of the field, and,
ultimately, create a lasting network that will help nineteenth-century
Russian literature researchers communicate with each other to organise
conferences and conference panels, special editions of journals, and other
collaborative work. The symposium will culminate with a discussion of ways
to make the study of nineteenth-century Russian literature more visible in
the UK.

The event will be held Saturday, February 1, 2014 at Darwin College,
Cambridge.

We are accepting abstracts of 250 words for 15-20 minute research papers on
any aspect of nineteenth-century Russian literature. Talks will be grouped
into thematic panels and be followed by time for questions and discussion.
We welcome proposals from anyone working on nineteenth-century Russian
literature, but will give preference to UK-based researchers and
postgraduate students. Please submit abstracts to
newrusslitresearchuk at gmail.com by December 15, 2013.

If there is interest, we will consider proposing a special journal edition
with proceedings from the symposium. Some funding is available for
accommodation and/or travel costs. This event is sponsored by a Research
Network Workshop Grant from CEELBAS, and is supported by the BASEES
Nineteenth-Century Study Group and the Department of Slavonic Studies at
the University of Cambridge.
