Jack Bushnell's personal essay "Of Gardens and Diamonds" was published in the summer 2008 issue of Elysian Fields Quarterly.

Joel Pace chaired panels titled "Representing America" and "Canadian Reincarnations of Romanticism" and presented the paper "'Only Connect': Towards a Teachable Taxonomy of Transatlantic Romanticisms" at the 16th Annual North American Society for the Study of Romanticism Conference. The conference, "Romantic Diversity," was held at the University of Toronto, Canada, Aug. 21-24. Pace's paper was derived from basing a graduate class on the ideas in his recent Literature Compass article, which discusses ways to diversify the Romantic canon. The article has since been praised by the editors as "potentially groundbreaking" and selected as a promotional feature piece of the journal.
