This series explores Renaissance and Early Modern worlds of knowledge (c.1400-c.1700) in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa. The volumes published in this series study the individuals, communities and networks involved in making and communicating knowledge during the first age of globalization. Authors investigate the perceptions, practices and modes of behaviour which shaped Renaissance and Early Modern intellectual endeavour and examine the ways in which they reverberated in the political, cultural, social and economic sphere.
The series is interdisciplinary, comparative and global in its outlook. We welcome submissions from new as well as existing fields of Renaissance Studies, including the history of literature (including neo-Latin, European and non-European languages), science and medicine, religion, architecture, environmental and economic history, the history of the book, art history, intellectual history and the history of music. We are particularly interested in proposals that straddle disciplines and are innovative in terms of approach and methodology.
The series includes monographs, shorter works and edited collections of essays. The Society for Renaissance Studies (https://www.rensoc.org.uk/publications/srs-book-series/) provides an expert editorial board, mentoring, extensive editing and support for contributors to the series, ensuring high standards of peer-reviewed scholarship. We welcome proposals from early career researchers as well as more established colleagues.
SRS Board Members: Erik DeBom (KU Leuven, Belgium); Mordechai Feingold (California Institute of Technology, USA); Andrew Hadfield (Sussex); Peter Mack (University of Warwick, UK); Stefania Tutino (UCLA, USA); Richard Wistreich (Royal College of Music, UK).
If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please contact the series editors: Harald Braun ([email protected]), Emily Michelson ([email protected]) and Jennifer Richards ([email protected]), or Michael Greenwood at Routledge ([email protected]).
