Nineteenth-Century and Beyond British Cultural Studies Working Group

Founded in 1995, the Nineteenth-Century and Beyond British Cultural Studies Working Group provides a forum for faculty and graduate students to discuss new research on the literature and culture of the long nineteenth century. Pre-circulated papers investigate issues of aesthetics, politics, history, theory, and other current sites of academic focus. We make a concerted effort to invite speakers whose research appeals to scholars in more than one discipline. Our focus on discourse analysis and questions of representation has proven particularly well suited to interdisciplinary study.
