"In the English-speaking world, the nineteenth century was a period of invention, exploration, urbanization, economic expansion, social change, mass migration, and globalization. These processes challenged the limits of the imagination and left their mark on the use of language. Over the past decade, literary critics have rekindled their interest in the new forms of literature that emerged to address these challenges, while linguists have come to realize that the nineteenth century holds a treasure-trove of linguistic data. Taking its cue from these developments, this conference sets out to explore the manifold manifestations of English literature and the English language in the nineteenth century. It aims to showcase innovative research on nineteenth-century English in all its guises." (Website)
