New Work in Eliot Studies
South Atlantic Modern Languages Association

November 5–7, 2026, Atlanta, GA

The study of T. S. Eliot is enjoying an unprecedented renaissance, thanks to a wealth of new primary and critical materials. New biographies of Eliot and of the key people in his life, the Complete Prose, new editions of his poetry and plays, important new translations, and the publication of thousands of new letters have opened countless new possibilities for the investigation of Eliot’s life and work. This session invites proposals on any topic reasonably related to Eliot. Preference will be given to proposals that engage with any of the new materials mentioned above. Submit abstracts of no more than 300 words along with a brief bio to John Morgenstern at jdmorgens@gmail.com by September 1, 2026.

This session is sponsored by the International T. S. Eliot Society (https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/tseliotsociety/)

The conference will be in person. Remote presentations are not allowed. Membership and conference registration are required before being listed in the program.
