Welcome

Welcome

For more than seven decades The English Institute has been a major resource for developments in criticism, theory, and scholarship, while honoring traditional fields of interest and modes of literary analysis.

In 2015, The English Institute began moving its annual meeting around the country.

Three institutions will now host The English Institute conference: Yale University (2015, 2018 and 2023), the University of Chicago (2016 and 2019), and the University of California at Irvine (2017 and 2022).

Founded in 1939, the English Institute first held its meetings at Columbia University. From 1972 to 2014, it enjoyed the hospitality of Harvard University, as well as two decades of generous funding from the Harvard President’s office.

The trustees and the members of the board of supervisors are grateful to Harvard for its long support, and to our three new university partners for their continuing endorsement.

We will convene for our next meeting at The University of Chicago in 2024 for talks and discussion on literature and its history, circulation, and reception. Stay tuned for more details!
