The English Institute at Harvard University

For almost 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.

The 2010 conference, our 69th meeting, continues the Institute’s renewed focus on the building blocks of the profession and craft: periodization, genre, authorship, reading, the critic's voice, and other issues of key concern to students, teachers, scholars, and theorists of literature.

The topic for this year's conference is author. The conference will take place on September 10-12, 2010 at Harvard University's Barker Center.
