DESCRIPTION:A book symposium for Claire Connolly's new publication\, Irish 
 Romanticism: A Literary History\n\nWhat does 'Irish romanticism' mean and 
 when did Ireland become romantic? How does Irish romanticism differ from t
 he literary culture of late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain\, a
 nd what qualities do they share? Former Burns Scholar Claire Connolly prop
 oses that Romanticism is a temporally and aesthetically distinct period in
  Irish culture in her new book\, Irish Romanticism: A Literary History (Ca
 mbridge University Press). Connolly argues that during this period\, Irish
  literature flourished in new forms and styles\, as evidenced by the lives
  and writings of Thomas Dermody\, Mary Tighe\, Maria Edgeworth\, Lady Morg
 an\, Thomas Moore\, Charles Maturin\, John Banim\, Gerald Griffin\, Willia
 m Carleton\, and James Clarence Mangan. Their books were written\, sold\, 
 circulated\, and read in Ireland\, Britain\, and America\, and\, as such\,
  were caught up in the shifting dynamics of a changing print culture\, its
 elf shaped by asymmetries of language\, power\, and population. \n\nElisa 
 Cozzi (Notre Dame) and Colleen Taylor (Boston College) will be joining Con
 nolly to discuss Irish Romanticism. \n\nClaire Connolly is Professor of Mo
 dern English at University College Cork in Ireland and author of A Cultura
 l History of the Irish Novel\, 1790-1829 (Cambridge University Press) as w
 ell as many essays on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Irish culture. Wi
 th Marjorie Howes (BC)\, she was the General Editor of the six-volume seri
 es\, Irish Literature in Transition\, 1700-2020\, as well as editor of Vol
 ume 2 of the series\, Irish Literature in Transition\, 1780-1830 (Cambridg
 e University Press). \n\nElisa Cozzie specializes in Irish\, British\, and
  Italian literary culture in the Romantic period. Her work examines the ci
 rculation of manuscript material\, radical ideas\, and literary influences
  across Europe's coteries. During her NEH Fellowship\, Cozzi is working on
  a book-length study of Irish-Italian literary and cultural exchanges.\n\n
 Colleen Taylor specializes in eighteenth-century Irish and British literat
 ure and the environmental humanities. She is the author of Irish Materiali
 sms: The Nonhuman and the Making of Colonial Ireland\, 1690-1830 (Oxford U
 niversity Press). Her current research project examines eighteenth- and ni
 neteenth-century Irish culture through the blue humanities\, theorizing an
 d decolonial implications of Ireland's oceanic imagination.
