Call for Papers: Issue 3 - The Northern Renaissance

We invite submissions for our third issue on any aspect of the cultural practice of Northern Europe in the period 1450-1650,  including literature, visual culture, philosophy, theology, politics and scientific technologies. We are particularly interested in studies exploring alternative cultural geographies, challenging existing conceptualizations and periodizations of the Renaissance in the North, and/or establishing continuities and ruptures with earlier and later epochs. Part of our intention, however, in having an open, unthemed issue, is to gauge where the most interesting work is being done and what questions are being asked by scholars working on Northern Renaissance culture across a wide range of disciplines.

Submissions should be sent to the journal by 31st August 2010. Potential contributors are advised to consult the submissions page of our website for details of the submissions procedure and style guidelines. We also welcome initial enquiries regarding possible contributions, which can be sent to us at:
