[Conference announcement]
Late humanism and political ideology in northern Europe, 1580-1620
10-11 July 2007
University of Cambridge: Centre for Research in the Arts, Social
Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) and Trinity College
This conference is concerned with the manifestations of what has been
called 'late', 'Tacitean', 'pragmatic' and 'neo-stoic' humanism.
Speakers will explore its relationship with Ciceronian humanism; its
association with politics, pedagogy, literature and visual culture; its
impact on natural philosophy and the applied sciences; its role in
seventeenth-century state-building, colonialism and religious and civil
conflicts. If there was a prevailing intellectual culture of northern
Europe, how did local contexts reflect or complicate that prevalence?
Speakers include Daniel Andersson, David Colclough, Anthony Grafton,
Harro Hopfl, Jill Kraye, Brian Ogilvie, Markku Peltonen, Jennifer
Richards, Richard Serjeantson, Alan Shepard, Jacob Soll and Malcolm
Smuts. A final round-table discussion will be led by Warren Boutcher and
David Norbrook.
