Romantic Regenerations
An International Conference
6-8 July 2018
Sophia University (Yotsuya Campus)
This conference explores various ways and forms in which Romantic texts were regenerated in later periods, especially in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in the Asian as well as Anglo-European contexts. A special focus will be given on the texts and arts which echoed, reshaped, and revised the texts of English Romanticism in the Victorian and Modernist periods, but papers on any related themes and subjects in any regions are most welcome. It hopes to examine various aspects of the regenerations and receptions of Romanticism.
