Keats Conference 2026 Call for Papers

The Keats Conference organizers invite proposals for 20-minute papers for presentation at the 2026 John Keats Conference. Our conference theme, The Keats Circle, has been broadly conceived to ensure that papers reflecting the full range of current Keats studies can be accommodated. Please email a paper proposal of 200–250 words, with a title and outline of your proposed presentation, to keatsconfsecretary@gmail.com to arrive by Saturday 21 February 12 noon UK time.  For obvious reasons, all papers should have a significant Keats dimension.

Registration will open on Monday 2 March.

This year’s speakers include:

• Lauren Cooper (Syracuse University)

• Kate Singer (Mount Holyoke College)

• Sarah Wootton (Durham University)

Please bear in mind that if your paper is accepted for presentation you should plan to attend for all or most of the conference programme. Registration covers administrative overheads, teas, coffees, wine reception, Conference Dinner, and so on, for the duration of the conference.
