“Napoleon’s Retreat from Moscow,” Adolf Northern (1828-1876)

For its 2012 conference, the International Conference on Romanticism returns to the Sonora Desert and will be held on the campus of Arizona State University in its Memorial Union, the site for the 2006 conference. Mark Lussier and Ron Broglio, the conference organizers, have adopted the theme of “catastrophes,” which should be interpreted in its broadest possible context, including aesthetic, colonial, dramatic, ecological, economic, geographic, literary, military, and political catastrophes. Other approaches are equally welcome. Angela Esterhammer (The University of Zurich) and Paul Youngquist (University of Colorado) have agreed to deliver plenary lectures for the conference. 

Abstracts and paper proposals are due April 1st, and special session proposals are due April 15th. We hope you will join us in November 2012.
