SNS 2023 Conference

Society for Novel Studies Conference 2023, “The Novel and the Archive”

University of Wisconsin–Madison

May 18-20, 2023

Conference Program Available Here.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is excited to host the bi-annual conference of the Society for Novel Studies. The Society for Novel Studies exists to further the study of the novel as a genre and to examine the role of fiction in engaging, formulating, and shaping the world.

This coming May 2023, we invite scholars at all levels to join in a conversation on the theme of “The Novel and the Archive.”  

Understanding the novel as a historical and contemporary phenomenon, as a genre continually open to change and experimentation, and as a national, regional, transnational, and global form, we will join together to ask: What is the relationship between the novel and the archive? What does the novel archive? And how does the archive manage the novel’s horizons?
