Welcome to BrANCA
BrANCA is a UK-based network of researchers, teachers, writers, and cultural critics engaged in progressive, interdisciplinary scholarship concerning American writing in the long nineteenth century. Our mission is to foster a community of scholars interested in drawing on the vast potential of nineteenth-century American texts to intervene in a variety of discourses and pressing issues. Now in its fifth year, and following two successful symposia at the University of Sussex in 2013, and the University of Warwick in 2015, BrANCA has organised panels at international conferences as well as an ongoing series of reading groups hosted by universities around the UK.
