Call for Papers
Nineteenth Century Numbers: British Association for Victorian Studies
Annual Conference 2013
The BAVS conference 2013 will be held at Royal Holloway, University of
London which was founded by the Victorian entrepreneur and
philanthropist Thomas Holloway at Egham, Surrey in 1886. The College and
the nearby former Holloway Sanatorium are products of surplus wealth
accumulated in the course of Holloway’s activities as financier, in the
large-scale manufacture of patent medicines, and in mass marketing –
including advertising to Britain’s overseas colonies. While its theme
reflects these institutional origins, the Conference aims to explore the
relevance of numbers to nineteenth-century studies in a wide variety of
ways. We welcome proposals for papers and panels which speak to the
interdisciplinary conference theme broadly and innovatively.
