Victorian Life Writing: Sources and Resources

The Ruskin Research Programme,
Lancaster University

21 – 23 July 2005.

Plenary Speakers

Philip Davis, Kate Flint, Robert Hewison, George Landow, and Jeffrey
Richards.

Discussions and presentations will cover the records of Victorian
writers’ lives, written both by themselves and others. As well as
various kinds of biography, we aim to consider more marginal forms of
textuality, including journals, diaries, performance and letters. The
presentation and editing of these materials is also of major interest.
Paper streams are to address the following topics: Constructing
Victorian Life Histories; Ruskinian Theatre; Recording Venice; Victorian
Writers’ Afterlives; Electronic Heaven and Virtual Lives.

Proposals for 25-minute papers are invited on any aspect of the
conference topics. Please send an abstract of 300 words to the
Conference Organising Committee at the address below by 30th March 2005.
