The Trustees of the Keats Foundation invite proposals for 20-minute papers for presentation at the 2022 John Keats Conference. Our conference theme, Reading John Keats: Words, Texts, Themes, Contexts, has been pitched as broadly as possible to ensure that papers reflecting the full range of current Keats studies can be accommodated. Please email a paper proposal of 200-250 words, with a title and outline of your proposed presentation, to keatsconference2022@gmail.com to arrive by Monday 28 March at 12 noon UK time. For obvious reasons, all papers should have a significant Keats dimension.
Acceptances will have been issued by 12 noon UK time on Friday 1 April 2022, when registration will open.

Please bear in mind that if your paper is accepted for presentation you should plan to attend for all or most of the conference programme.
Our aim has been to keep the registration process as simple as is practically possible. The registration fees set out below are estimates based on the (cancelled) 2020 conference and are unlikely to change much when registration opens; registration covers administrative overheads, teas, coffees, wine reception and so on, for the duration of the conference.
To undergraduate and postgraduate students and unwaged we offer a concession fee. Except for the Conference Dinner on Saturday 21 May, meals during the conference are not covered by the conference fee. Overnight accommodation during the conference is wholly at the discretion of participants.
If you have significant funding deadlines please alert us to these.
