Event: Nineteenth-Century Legacies Royal Holloway, University of London

Tuesday 3rd June 2025
09:00 – 18:00
Royal Holloway, University of London (Egham)

On Tuesday 3rd June Royal Holloway, University of London, in collaboration with the British Association of Victorian Studies and the British Association of Romantic Studies, will host an in-person colloquium examining realisms across literary, artistic, theatrical, and critical forms, and considering the continuing influence of nineteenth-century thought on our current moment.

We particularly welcome scholars with an interest in the nineteenth century, postgraduates, and early-career researchers.

In the morning and early afternoon, delegates will present 15-minute papers attending to nineteenth-century realisms (broadly conceived). These diverse and interdisciplinary, discussions will lay the foundation for an interactive roundtable event during the afternoon structured around the topic “Managing Difficult Legacies”. We will reflect upon how nineteenth-century ideas, understandings, and problems raised during the paper presentations continue to influence university courses, institutions in the GLAM sector, as well as contemporary cultural and political discourses.
