On 4 and 5 June this year, the AMU Faculty of Polish and Classical Philology host the Romantic Beginnings, Romantic Futures conference, which the AMU Department of Romantic Literature is organising in collaboration with John Strachan (Bath Spa University) and Diego Saglia (University of Parma).
The key themes of the sessions will be the means of experiencing time, its links to history, the creation of mythic beginnings and the projection of the future in the literature of British, Polish, American and German Romanticism.
The programme can be found here.

Paul Hamilton (Queen Mary University of London), New beginnings in Romantic theory, then and now: Language-magic or the chirping of Cicadas
Robert Morrison (Queen's University, Ontario), Visions of Sudden Death: Thomas De Quincey on Time, History, and Addiction
