The lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m. with drinks and salads, and the main course will be served about 12:00 noon in a private room at the Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar in Los Angeles. All are welcome to attend.

Space is limited, and advance reservations are requested by December 20, although we will continue to accept reservations after that date on a space-available basis. Please remit $30 per person (or $20 for adjunct faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars) using the "Get tickets" link above. Your credit card payment will be processed by Eventbrite through their secure payment system.

This annual lunch is always a social high-point of the MLA Convention, and we are delighted to host a festive gathering of British, American, and European Romanticists, along with your friends, students and colleagues. We promise lively conversation, excellent company and delicious American fare! The lunch is "priced below cost" and includes a tasty selection of salads, sandwiches, dessert, soft drinks, tea and coffee. Wine, beer and cocktails will be available for purchase at the cash bar.

The Wordsworth-Coleridge Association is pleased to announce the Marilyn Gaull Book Award, conferred annually in recognition of the most outstanding monograph or scholarly edition reviewed during the previous year in The Wordsworth Circle, which Marilyn Gaull founded in 1970 and edited through 2019. This prize will be awarded to the book that best represents the spirit of wide-ranging inquiry, critical acumen, and enduring influence on the field that Marilyn Gaull always championed. The 2026 recipient of the Marilyn Gaull Book Award will be announced at this event.
