Welcome to Romantic Circles Features & Events. Please send all comments, suggestions, URLs, and proposals for contributions to the General Editors.
Features | This section seeks to provide a rotating series of features of
particular interest to Romanticists. We welcome other scholars to propose
features of their own: exhibits of texts and/or images, transcriptions of
live or virtual seminars and discussions, constellations and tours of
relevant web pages and other virtual sites. We are especially interested
in features on aspects of Romantic studies otherwise unrepresented on the
WWW, and features that help students in the field discover, digest, and
use the growing profusion of relevant information online and in print. RC Blog A frequently-updated Weblog with postings and announcements of interest to the Romantic Circles community.

Villa Diodati | Villa Diodati is a five-room MOOspace,
located in the virtual world of Romantic Circles. It takes its name
from the house in the Swiss village of Cologny, with a splendid view of
Lake Leman, that Lord Byron rented in the legendary summer of 1816. Byron
and his physician/companion John Polidori were joined at the Villa Diodati
throughout the summer by the Shelleys and Claire Clairmont for talks that
often lasted long into the night. It was, of course, a famous
story-telling contest held at the Villa Diodati that served as the impetus
for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Teaching in the Moo with a bibliography of relevant readings |
