As Victorian Studies has done in the past, three "scouts" picked three conference papers each that they felt reflected some trend, area of interest, or scholarly direction. VS then publishes the papers along with a response from the respondents. VS hopes that its choice of "scouts"—and their choice of papers—reflect the special character of this conference in that many (though not all) of the panels address issues that inform the relationship between Romanticism and the Victorian period. (Note that the order below is merely organizational, and does not necessarily reflect the final order of publication.)
