Support the K-SAA
The Keats-Shelley Association of America has been a vital home for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Romantic literature for decades. Our community thrives on care, integrity, energy, and the initiatives that support our members.
Why Your Membership Matters
When you become a member of the K-SAA, you're doing more than gaining access to resources and events. You're investing in a community that matters to us all—inspiring the continuation of Romantic Era studies and scholarship for generations. You're helping us sustain and grow programming to make a real difference in our field.
Your membership dues directly support our core mission and history. They enable us to publish the Keats-Shelley Journal, a prestigious publication that has been advancing scholarship on Keats, Shelley, Byron, and their circles for years. They fund our annual MLA panel and Awards Reception, where we celebrate excellence in Romantic scholarship and bring our community together. They make possible our Members' Meeting each May, where scholars share new work and chart future directions for the Association.
But we're doing more than maintaining tradition—we're building for the future.
Expanding Our Reach, Deepening Our Impact
The K-SAA is committed to creating an inclusive, engaged, and forward-looking organization. With member support, we're developing new initiatives that reflect the evolving needs of our community and the broader field of Romantic studies.
We're launching virtual seminars and mentorship programming that make participation more accessible, regardless of where you live or work. We're implementing diversity and equity initiatives to ensure that Romantic scholarship reflects a wide range of voices and perspectives. We're creating public humanities programs for high schoolers, introducing the next generation to the beauty and relevance of Romantic literature. And we're continuing our long-standing Pforzheimer grants, which provide crucial support for emerging scholars.
These programs don't happen by themselves. They happen because members like you believe in the importance of this work and choose to be part of it.
More Than Membership—A Community
The K-SAA values its warm and collegial atmosphere. We're not just an organization; we're a community of people who share a commitment to meaningful scholarship and passion for Romantic literature. When you join us, you become part of something special.
Members receive a subscription to the Keats-Shelley Journal and our quarterly newsletter. You'll be invited to our annual events at discounted rates and receive advance notice of all our programming. You'll have opportunities to engage directly with our officers, directors, and fellow members through our mentoring program, symposia, and ongoing conversations about our shared future—not solely the Association.
We seek to engage people from all backgrounds, disciplines, and experiences. Whether you're a seasoned scholar, a graduate student just beginning your journey, or someone who simply loves Romantic literature, there's a place for you here.
Join Us Today
Student memberships are available for just $25 per year—an investment in your scholarly development and in the future of Romantic studies. Sustaining memberships and higher levels of support help us expand our programming and reach even more people (and we even have the option to gift a membership to a student or friend).
The work we do together matters. It keeps Romantic literature vibrant and relevant. It supports scholars at every stage of their careers. It opens doors for students and introduces new audiences to the power of poetry, prose, and ideas that continue to resonate centuries after they were written.
The Keats-Shelley Association of America depends on members like you. Help us continue this important work.
Together, we can ensure that the K-SAA remains a thriving home
for generations to come.
