"PAST VS PRESENT"
Joint meeting of the British Association for Victorian Studies and the North American Victorian Studies Association
Hosted by the Cambridge Victorian Studies Group
13-15 JULY 2009
CHURCHILL COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE
How did the Victorians rearrange the past? What new pasts did they discover?
Conference Topics Include:
The ways in which new discoveries across diverse fields helped shape new disciplines such as geology, biology, linguistics, classics, history and archaeology; The proliferation of myths of origin - cosmic, geological, biological, historical, and anthropological; New technologies and tools for investigating the past - such as photography or museology; Diverse and even contradictory responses to the past from different groups of people; What the Victorians decided to throw out, and what they decided to keep; The heritage that the Victorians invented for us - are we still living in a Victorian world?
The conference will feature four plenaries, eight special sessions, ten workshops, outings in Victorian Cambridge, and an after-banquet Literary Panel with neo-Victorian novelists.
