Conferences/Events

Join scholars from around the world to discuss alliteration in poetry and cultural history. This is the first major event focused on alliteration since The Folklore Society's conference 'Alliteration in Culture' in 2007. Featuring a full day of papers on a range of topics, periods and languages, New Perspectives will suggest the roots and ramifications of alliteration in (and beyond) English-language literary history. 

This event is generously supported by The British Academy and the University of East Anglia.

This is a hybrid conference. When registering, please indicate whether you will be attending virtually or at UEA. Refreshments and lunch will be provided for those at UEA.

Confirmed Plenary Speakers: Professor Joseph Phelan (DMU), Professor Chris Jones (Utah). Full programme to be announced.

The British International History Group is the largest group of historians working in the field of international history. The group was formed in the mid-1980s and has run an annual conference (Covid withstanding) every year on a rotating basis at universities in the United Kingdom. We run a two-and-half day conference (Wednesday afternoon to Friday afternoon) in early September. The conference aims to attract established academic practitioners and provide a friendly and encouraging platform for PhD and early career academics to present their work. The conference includes parallel panel sessions, workshops, plenaries and a keynote lecture.
