The International Association of Byron Societies (IABS) aims to support the growth of MA, PhD, and early-career scholars, particularly those focused on Byron studies. IABS officers encourage you to have your students apply to various conferences such as MLA, NASSR, BARS, the Messolonghi student conference, the IABS conference, or any other conference featuring Byron-related papers.
In the year after the poet’s bicentenary, the 2025 International Byron Conference to be held in Pisa (30 June – 5 July 2025) will focus on Byron’s richly inexhaustible legacy from the immediate aftermath of his death to the twenty-first century. The Conference aims to investigate Byron’s ideas about all kinds of futurity – historical, political, personal, and spiritual, among others – as well as the place he and his works have held in culture and literature since 1824, both in Britain and overseas.
The Committee welcomes submissions for both individual 20-minute presentations and roundtable discussions. Roundtable session proposals should include a description of the topic as well as a list of participants (along with a short bionote for each participant).
The deadline for proposals is 20 JANUARY 2025.
We will begin accepting proposals shortly directly through the website.
