UMass Press’s C19 Virtual Exhibit

UMass Press is excited to participate in C19’s virtual conference as the “Press of the Day” on October 24. In celebration of this year’s conference, we would like to offer members 30% off and free shipping on all of the titles featured here with promo code MAS009!

We were sad to miss out on connecting in Coral Gables this spring, but we would welcome the opportunity to discuss your projects in process on nineteenth-century American literature and culture. Please contact Brian Halley, senior editor, at [email protected] to request a meeting.
