Call for Papers
Byron Society of America at CEA 2020
March 26-28, 2020 | Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Hilton Head Marriott Resort and Spa
The Byron Society of America and the College English Association welcome proposals for presentations on Lord Byron’s life, works, and/or influences for the 51st annual CEA conference, the theme of which is Tides.
Well—well, the world must turn upon its axis,
And all mankind turn with it, heads or tails,
And live and die, make love and pay our taxes,
And as the veering wind shifts, shift our sails;
The king commands us, and the doctor quacks us,
The priest instructs, and so our life exhales,
A little breath, love, wine, ambition, fame,
Fighting, devotion, dust,—perhaps a name. – Don Juan 2.4
We invite papers related to all aspects of Byron’s life and work in relation to the conference theme, e.g. Byron and the sea, the tides of his affairs and passions, self-exile and travel, the shipwreck in Don Juan, mutiny and romance inThe Island, his life on the canals of Venice, and his death near the tidal lagoons of Messolonghi.
