Dickens and Syntax

We invite papers on Dickens’s syntactic complexity, exploring how the grammatical rhythms of his phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and chapters shape atmosphere, characterization, and narrative form in his writing. All linguistic and literary approaches are welcome.

Deadline for submissions: Sunday, March 29, 2026
