Wordsworth/Awe Updated Audiences

When I last posted on possible audiences, I was leaning more towards venues surrounding pragmatism. Now I’m leaning more towards Romanticism venues because I think my research would better contribute to/diversify the idyllic Romantic discussion.

Intermediate Sources:
  • PaulWestover—BYU’s own. All I would have to do is go to his office hour in the JFSB.
  • H.G.Callaway—academia.edu. I’m not sure if I’m serious about contacting this guy, but I found him off of a pragmatism blog and I think he’d be cool to talk to, especially since he’s made himself so available online. Maybe I’ll send him an email or give him a call.
  • Timothy Brownlow—Malaspina University-College. I found him by searching this cool site, Romantic Circles, “a refereed scholarly Website devoted to the study of the Romantic-period literature and culture.” I also found some audio clips on Romantic Circles here that helped me contextualize the Romantic conversation. He taught a course called Studies in Romantic Literature and posted his syllabus online. So maybe he’d want to chat with me. I’d have to check time differences to Canada.
Final Sources: 
  • The Wordsworth Conference Foundation. Two conferences a year, one in the summer and one in the winter, where participants take walks and visit Dove Cottage by candlelight in between sessions. 250-word proposals accepted until April 15th for papers of no more than 2,750 words (that's 6.9 pages….too short, but maybe I could cut?)
  • Romanticism. I found this journal before, and I think I'll stick with it as one of my submission goals. I looked for a discouraging note like, "you better have a doctorate to publish here," but can't find one, so it couldn't hurt to send them my paper. This publication limits to 5,000 to 7,000 words.
