Society for Renaissance Studies Monograph Series

Series editor: Harald E. Braun, University of Liverpool, UK

This is a new series. It is dedicated to the exploration of the many cultures of knowledge, learning, reading and performing in the Renaissance and Early Modern world (c.1400-c.1700). We invite authors to identify and examine the individuals and communities, the institutions and networks that initiated, maintained or inhibited the making and the uses of knowledge in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa. The volumes in this series will investigate the issues and developments which inspired and shaped intellectual endeavour and disciplinary identities, and study the ways in which they reverberated in the political, cultural, social and economic sphere. 

The series welcomes submissions from possible new as well as existing fields of Renaissance Studies, including the fields of literature, theology, philosophy, geography, historical anthropology and history - especially history of architecture, science and medicine, the environment and the economy, urban history, the history of the book and reading, art history, intellectual history, and the history of music. 

The series is supported by the Society for Renaissance Studies (www.rensoc.org.uk). The Society, Series Editor, and Editorial Board are particularly interested in contributions that straddle disciplines and are innovative in terms of approach and methodology. We aim to promote cutting edge research and we are keen to foster new directions and open up new fields of enquiry in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies. We warmly welcome proposals from early career researchers as well as distinguished colleagues.

Topics include:

•	Production, Organisation and Communication of Knowledge - in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa
•	Epistemic Relationships - how different fields of knowledge interact with one another and with relevant practice in different contexts, and how they shape perceptions of the world
•	Knowledge, Authority and Control
•	Transmission, Translation and Exchange
•	Genres and Media
•	Communities and Networks
•	Education and Higher Learning
•	Scholarly and Artistic Self-Fashioning
•	Knowledge, Art and Performance
•	Knowledge and Perceptions of the Self and the Other
