Call for submissions poster. In The History of Sexuality (1976), Foucault outlines the ‘discursive explosion’ that occurred around sex during the
long nineteenth century. Sexuality, as we define it today, became attached to personal identity for the first time.
In literature, art, and politics, sex often reflected the period’s social anxieties and around gender and power, yet
also newfound uses of erotic aesthetics. Modern queer theorists first situated their work within nineteenth-
century studies (Eve Kofosky Sedgewick, Between Men, 1985), and recent work in the field historicises
marginalised groups (Jen Manion, Female Husbands: A Trans History, 2020). Sex encourages us to consider the
broader cultural and societal dynamics of the long nineteenth century, and the lasting influence of these
structures today .
This issue of Romance, Revolution and Reform is looking for papers of 5,000-8,000 words on ‘Sex in the Long
Nineteenth Century’ (1789-1914) in all its forms and in a global context. We encourage broad interpretations of
sex and invite submissions that explore its fluid and multifaceted nature. The journal encourages multi- and
interdisciplinary papers from across the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities and invites contributions from those
at any career stage, including PGRs and ECRs.
Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:
• Sexuality and queer studies
• Gender, feminism, and masculinities
• Trans studies
• Pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare
• Sex scandals in court and politics
• Gothic literature
• Decadence; hedonism
• Sexual health, contraception, and the medical
humanities
• Sex work
• Print culture; pornography and Victorian
erotica
• Postcolonial and ecocritical perspectives on
gender and sex
The closing date for submissions is midnight on Friday 16th April. Papers should be
submitted to rrr@soton.ac.uk. Early expressions of interest are welcomed. Submission
guidelines can be found here: https://www.rrrjournal.com/policies

Delighted to receive my copy of Women + Transnational Cultural Exchange. I have written a taster about Mary Anne Hunn (Canning, nee Costello) on her maternal framing in her 188 p. letter from 1803. A brilliant collection which I would highly recommend!

Placing the Nineteenth Century: A PGR/ECR conference
Friday 26th June 2026
Image of Blackpool
Edge Hill Nineteen research centre is excited to invite you to 'Placing the Nineteenth Century', a PGR/ECR conference focused on the North (West) of England in nineteenth-century literature and history.
London and the South have often been the heart of discussion about the nineteenth century. However, development in industry during the period brought popularity to cities such as Liverpool and Manchester, which led to a boom of industrial growth in the north of England. In the nineteenth century, the north of England developed like never before, both within cities and in more rural areas.
Following a recent EHU19 research symposium, PhD students from literature and history came together to discuss their emerging research and found a common theme - place. More specifically, the North (and North West) of England was a uniting thread, and so the idea for such a conference was born.
We invite proposals that engage with 'place' in the long nineteenth century, with particular attention to the North (West), broadly conceived. Papers may approach place as material, imagined, represented, contested, remembered, or speculative. We welcome MA/MRes students, PhD students, and Early Career Researchers whose research interests focus on the North (West) of England in nineteenth-century literary studies, history, art history and related disciplines, with suggested (but not limited to) topics such as:
• Fictional/fantastical representations of the North (West)
• The legacy of space in the North (West)
• Transnational and postcolonial links to the North (West): colonial, imperial, and transatlantic contexts (e.g, Liverpool as a global port)
• Museums, archives, and collections: regional museums and the afterlives of nineteenth-century places
• Gendered, racialised, and marginalised spaces: who belongs, who is excluded, and how space is policed
• Landscape across disciplines: historical, literary, artistic, and creative engagements with the natural and industrial landscapes of the North (West) in the long nineteenth century
• The North (West) in popular culture, periodicals, visual culture, and performance
• Queer histories and queer readings of place, including non-normative identities & relationships
Please send abstracts of approximately 250 words (including title) for 10-15 minute papers, along with a short biography to ehu 19place@outlook.com by 1st May 2026, including name, preferred pronouns, and academic institution.
We are excited to have Dr Claire O'Callaghan giving a keynote address on Top Withens, Wuthering Heights and the impact of literary scholarship. As Dr O'Callagham is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Brontë Studies journal, she has kindly agreed to also run a workshop on publishing in an academic journal.
Given the conference's emphasis on 'place', we are excited to offer an in-person conference gathering in the North West and warmly welcome participants to join us here. However, we are also committed to accessibility needs and widening participation, so please indicate if you would prefer to present online in your application. Please also do let us know about any other access needs or adjustments that can make your experience easier.
Our brilliant PhD students have organised a conference - Placing the Nineteenth Century - and you’re all invited! Friday 26th June
CFP deadline: Friday 1st May
We’re all excited for our keynote speaker, @drclaireocall.bsky.social 🤩
Please share - and send us an abstract!
