Victorian Review invites submissions for a special issue devoted to the topic of “Videogames and Victorian Studies.” This issue will consider how game texts interact with Victorian genres, aesthetics, and literary themes by commenting on or critiquing their original contexts. Articles will examine how the embodied, user-driven mode of storytelling employed by videogames can offer new engagements with the era’s many lingering legacies in the present. This includes, but is not limited to, questions of class, race, gender and sexuality, colonialism, the professionalization of science, ableist modes of reading, etc.

Inspired by the Brontë Parsonage Museum’s 2022 exhibition Defying Expectations: Inside Charlotte Brontë’s Wardrobe, Brontë Studies invites new and original articles for a Special Issue devoted to the Brontës and material culture. The exhibition, co-created with historical consultant Dr Eleanor Houghton, featured more than twenty pieces of Charlotte’s clothing and accessories and offered intimate insight into both her domestic and literary lives.

Confirmed keynotes:

Dr Madeleine Callaghan, University of Sheffield

Professor Porscha Fermanis, University College Dublin

We invite proposals for the 2023 Romantic Studies Association of Australasia Conference, to be hosted in central Melbourne at Deakin Downtown. The conference will explore the theme of Renewal – broadly conceived – in Romanticism.

This Special Issue of Humanities (ISSN 2076-0787) seeks to elicit original essays examining the intersections of medicine and literature (broadly understood). Essays exploring any cultural context from c. 1800 to the present day are welcome. Possible contributions might address, but are not limited to, topics such as:

The Incredible Nineteenth Century: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Fairy Tale (I19) seeks to publish the best scholarship on the century that was, in many ways, the time period in which the modern genres of science fiction and fantasy began, and in which the academic study of fairy tale and folklore has its roots. I19 interprets “the nineteenth century” broadly, using the dates of “The Long Nineteenth Century”—roughly, from the beginning of the French Revolution to the end of World War I—but even these dates are just notable historical markers as they approximately coincide with Romanticism and Modernism, respectively.

The Incredible Nineteenth Century: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Fairy Tale will host an online conference via Zoom on March 31-April 1. The theme is "Beginnings," and we will be exploring how, in many ways, the nineteenth century saw the birth of science fiction and fantasy as we know them, as well as the scholarly study of folk and fairy tales.  Suggested topics may include, but are not limited to:

Over the centuries, there has been a connection between pessimism and poetry/song. We invite proposals examining this connection sent to jdailey@gts.edu. Include your name, phone number and e mail in an e mail--not as attachments.

Interfused: imagination, faith and reason in Romantic writers

The period in European and anglophone literature from the late eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth known as Romantic had a number of characteristics and, although there was reaction from Enlightenment thinking, some long established threads endured. For the conference we look for associations with Christian and Biblical themes in literary texts. Papers will have a reading time of 20 minutes. Fuller details are on the conference page of the CLSG website.
