The Wordsworth-Coleridge Association provides affiliation, services, and information to an international community of scholars, editors, teachers, critics, graduate students, historians, librarians, authors, independent scholars, and non-academics in other professions. The range of interests represented by the Association is equally eclectic: as the masthead of The Wordsworth Circle states, it promotes research on “the lives, works, and times of British, American, and European writers from 1770 to 1850, before and after.” While the discipline itself and the academic institutions where it is studied continue to change, grow and diversify, the Wordsworth-Coleridge Association and The Wordsworth Circle (TWC) provide an essential center for dialogue, review, and renewal, for developing the voices of the future, for assimilating contemporary concerns, for preserving the great literary and cultural resources we are heir to, and for extending the sense of community that Wordsworth envisioned. As an allied organization of the Modern Language Association, the Wordsworth-Coleridge Association sponsors at least one panel and a lunch at the annual convention. Membership in the Association includes a print and electronic subscription to The Wordsworth Circle. Members receive the following journal-related benefits:

• Electronic access to the full run of TWC, back to volume 1, number 1 (1970)
• Electronic update alerts emailed with the publication of each new issue of TWC
• E-Book editions of TWC issues
• Members also receive a 30% discount on books from select publishers, including the University of Chicago Press.
