Essays may be on any aspect of the writing and/or lives of the Romantics and their circles, and should be written in a clear and accessible style.
Prize Judge Professor Sharon Ruston writes: ‘I want to read a well-organised, lively, and well-expressed essay. It should be arguing a point and offer persuasive evidence in its case. We are also looking for someone who has a deep and creative interest in Keats, Shelley, or their circle.’
