Context and aims<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
In the wake of recent major exhibitions and publications such as Tate Britain\u2019s Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde<\/i> and The Cambridge Companion to Pre-Raphaelitism<\/i>, this two-day conference will present new and innovative approaches to the study of Pre-Raphaelitism by bringing together established academics, museum curators and research students. This conference also seeks to examine Pre- Raphaelitism as a bridge between Romanticism and Aestheticism, and to engage with current critical work regarding its relationship to Modernism in literature.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The breadth and diversity of Pre-Raphaelite art, literature and design will be drawn on in order <\/span>to consider major questions such as: What is Pre-Raphaelitism? Where does the movement <\/span>begin and end? Who should be included or excluded? What are its major influences, and to <\/span>what extent has it influenced other artists and movements? How have perceptions of Pre-Raphaelitism changed or remained the same since its nineteenth-century beginnings?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Format and themes<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
This will be a two-day conference, organized jointly by Professor Christiana Payne and Dr <\/span>Dinah Roe (Oxford Brookes University), Colin Harrison (Ashmolean Museum) and Dr Alastair <\/span>Wright (Oxford University). Academic sessions will be held at the Ashmolean Museum (Friday <\/span>13 September) and St John\u2019s College (Saturday 14 September). A programme of guided <\/span>walks and talks around Pre-Raphaelite sites in Oxford will be held on Sunday 15 September.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We invite proposals for papers on all aspects of Pre-Raphaelite work, especially with a crossdisciplinary focus. Papers by current or recently graduated research students are welcome, <\/span>as well as those by more established scholars. Topics for discussion might include, but are <\/span>not limited to:<\/span><\/div>\n
