Society for Renaissance Studies National Conference 2010
University of York, 16-18 July 2010
The 4th National Conference of the Society for Renaissance Studies will
be held in the historic city of York on 16-18 July 2010. The conference
will follow immediately after the Leeds Medieval Congress and will
coincide with the final weekend of the York Early Music Festival--which
will feature The Sixteen performing the music of Tallis and others in
the York Minster, a major new performance of Monteverdi's 1610 Vespers,
and a partial performance of the York Mystery Plays in the streets of
the city. Participants will be offered tickets for all of these events
along with tours of the city and outings to historic sites. The
conference will also feature workshops on publishing and research
funding (including a presentation by Shearer West, Director of Research
at the Arts and Humanities Research Council). Confirmed plenary speakers
include Iain Fenlon (Cambridge) and Penelope Gouk (Manchester).
We now invite proposals for panels (max. 90 minutes) on any aspect of
Renaissance history, art, literature or culture, and for individual
papers (max. 25 minutes) on one of the following themes:
*Rethinking the Medieval/Renaissance Divide
*At the Boundaries of Science
*Soundscapes and Landscapes, Environments and Ecologies
*Possessions and Collections
*Between Spirituality and Materiality
*Cultural Encounters
Proposals (max. 400 words) are welcome from both established scholars
and postgraduates and they should be sent by Friday 25 September 2009 to
the conference organizer:
