medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
May I ask whether anyone on the list is aware of any independent scholars
in the medieval studies or history fields who are finding success in
publishing books? I finished a Ph.D in history at Cornell in 2003 and am
currently not employed by choice. Having been encouraged by my graduate
advisors, this spring I will be submitting to publishers my dissertation on
Franciscan devotion to St. Joseph. Although it does not seem very
difficult for independent scholars to have articles accepted, I am
wondering if book-length projects are taken less seriously if authored by
scholars who do not hold academic positions. Does anyone have any
knowledge or experience of this?
Thanks in advance,
Chara Armon
