Dear colleagues, We'd like to alert you to a new website associated with a literature review project entitled Urban Communities in Early Modern Europe c1400-1700. It's a UK AHRC Connected Communities scoping study, and it aims to examine recent directions in research that takes community as a central theme. The project is run by Fabrizio Nevola and David Rosenthal, from the University of Bath. As the process unfolds, we will be talking to a number of historians and publishing these discussions online. Three initial interviews, with Edward Muir, Niall Atkinson and Tom and Elizabeth Cohen, have recently been posted. Several more will follow shortly. We hope you might find these discussions interesting. http://earlymoderncommunities.com Best wishes, Fabrizio Nevola and David Rosenthal
