The Association’s regular newsletter provides a combination of topical features, review articles and announcements of recent publications. It is also one of the best places to follow what is happening in the world of Victorian Studies with a wide-ranging collection of calls for papers and details of forthcoming events.
The most recent issues are only available to BAVS members, who should enter a password for access (you may need to "temporarily accept scripted pages" and click the link again - apologies for recent difficulties with this). If you require a password reminder or would like to join the Association please contact the membership secretary.

The new Autumn 2008 newsletter contains the latest details about BAVS's joint conference with our North American counterparts NAVSA in 2009. It also offers reflections on a number of recent BAVS sponsored conferences and events, including 'Victorian Feeling', 'Bodies and Things' and 'Artistry and Industry', plus this season's indispensable collation of calls for papers and recently published works.
