NASSR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NASSR is an acronym for North American Society for the Study of Romanticism. These scholars hold conferences, host a listserv, and publish a quarterly scholarly journal: The European Romantic Review (ERR). The organization began at the University of Western Ontario in 1991. The society is not limited to North American members: Current members come from Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia. While most of the chat on the listserv involves British literature, the website claims that NASSR scholars "work in a wide range of disciplines, including History, Art History, Women's Studies, Philosophy, Music, Political Economy, and Literature; members' interests encompass American, Canadian, English, French, German, Irish, Italian, Russian, Scottish, and Spanish Romanticisms."
Selected papers from NASSR's annual conference appear each year in a special issue of the academic journal European Romantic Review.
