    I am seeking papers for a special session on "Teaching Romanticism and
    History" at the 2002 NASSR Conference, to be held 22-25 August 2002 in
    London, Ontario. Deadline for submission is 30 December 2001, and the
    panel description is below.

    Romantic studies has benefited from a substantial body of historical
    scholarship in the past decade. This work has provided such fundamental
    new insights about the political, cultural, economic, and social
    revolutions of the period that the ground for what constitutes Romantic
    studies has shifted. "Romanticism" has become a highly contested category,
    and these contestations have clearly manifested themselves in the ways in
    which Romanticism is taught.

    For this panel, I am soliciting papers that discuss ways in which
    Romanticist historical scholarship has led those who teach the period to
    reshape, revise, revitalize, or reconceptualize the courses they offer in
    the field. I am interested in both theoretical and practical approaches to
    the problem of how to incorporate historicist work and insights into the
    teaching of Romanticism. Please send 500-word abstracts (and queries) to
    Bonnie Gunzenhauser at bgunzenhauser@mail.millikin.edu. Deadline for
    submission is December 30.

    Details about the conference----the annual meeting of the North American
    Society for the Study of Romanticism----are available at
