Who we are

The 19thc Group is an interdisciplinary research colloquium for the study of British literature and culture broadly and openly defined, including trans-Atlantic exchanges, empire, and more. We are interested in the long nineteenth century--including the late eighteenth century and the Edwardian period.

The 19thc Group holds meetings each quarter. Our main purpose is to provide a place where graduate students and faculty can share their work in progress. We also meet to hear papers presented by visiting scholars. Most meetings occur on Tuesdays at 4pm.

If you're interested in our group, please sign up for our mailing list; contact information below.
