Brandeis Novel Symposium
This year's Brandeis Novel Symposium will be held on Friday, October 17, 2025 and will feature Henry James's The Bostonians (1886).
Welcome to the Brandeis Novel Symposium. Each year, this one-day conference chooses a single novel as a point of focus for salient theoretical, historical, political, and narratological questions about the novel as a genre. Please join our mailing list to stay up-to-date on this year's conference. Undergraduate and graduate students with a U.S. mailing address can receive a free copy of the novel by registering for our mailing list.
