CFP for @imc-leeds.bsky.social for July 2026: "Old English in the Long Nineteenth Century". Please share widely! Deadline for abstracts 1 September 2025. #IMC2026

Call for papers for the 2026 Leeds IMC for "Old English in the Long 19th Century". Deadline 1 Sept. 2025. Description reads:
Throughout the long 19th c., various advances were made in the study of Old English, ranging from the 1st edition of Beowulf (1815) the outlining of OE metre by Eduard Sievers, as well as discoveries of such OE texts as the Vercelli Book, the Épinal-Erfurt Glossary and the Brussels Cross. When approaching OE in the 21st c., it is impossible to deny the impact of 19th-c. scholarship. When we refer to titles of such OE poems as The Wanderer, The Seafarer and The Wife’s Lament, we are using titles bestowed on these texts by 19th-c. scholars. Several standard editions of OE texts were made in the 19th c. or heavily rely on earlier, 19th-c. editions. Lexicographical tools with a relevance for OE, including Bosworth and Toller’s An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, A Thesaurus of Old English and the Oxford English Dictionary, also have their roots firmly in 19th-c. philological practices and how OE is taught still relies on paradigms and set texts from the 19th c. Thus, when studying OE, we often have to engage with material on multiple temporal levels, considering not just our own concepts of the early medieval period but also how that period was understood by 19th-c. scholars. Paper proposals are welcome from scholars from all academic backgrounds. Possible topics include but are not limited to:
- Discoveries of OE texts
- Disputes about linguistic or literary interpretations of OE
- Disciplinary developments in the field of OE studies
- Personal, religious, political and ideological motivations for the study of OE
- Biographical contributions about scholars of OE
- Scholarly correspondence on OE matters
- Editing and printing of OE texts
- Teaching of OE
Please send an abstract (300 words) to Rachel A. Fletcher (r.a.fletcher@hum.leidenuniv.nl), Ellen Gallimore (ellen.gallimore@york.ac.uk) and Thijs Porck (m.h.porck@hum.leidenuniv.nl).
