CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS: Art and the Verdant Earth: The Green Worlds of the Renaissance and the Baroque

Call for contributions to a multi-author essay collection:

The green mantle of the earth! This age-old metaphor casts the greening of the earth as a divine marvel while also calling upon poets and artists to re-fashion the greenness of nature into art. Ecological writers like Rachel Carson and E. O. Wilson used the expression as a poetic figure for the terrestrial vegetation we take for granted. The topic of Art and the Verdant Earth is the representation of vegetation in the art of the Old Masters. Its ambition is to reveal the visual poetics underpinning the pictorial expression of greenery in images that are traditionally called landscapes.

We invite essays on the visual poetics of a verdant earth. How did artists in Early Modern Europe compete with poets (and Nature) in the fashioning of natural imagery? How did they manage/ manipulate the infinitude of irregularities that is nature’s way? What can be said of the many types of landscape painting (pastoral, sylvan, rural, wilderness, or even river views, clearings, and distressing wastelands) in light of a poetics of vegetation, and in light of the realities of land use? Artists, we believe, followed a kind of lyrical naturalism, which turns the phenomena of nature into the common themes and recurrent motifs of visual poetry. It also links the inexhaustible treasures of the natural world to the poets whose epithets for green matter served as precepts that directed artists in the discovery of just those traits – be it the obdurancy of an oak or the pliancy of a willow- that turn vegetation into eloquent depiction.

This collection of essays is being seriously considered by Ashgate Publishing. Edited by Karen Hope Goodchild, April Oettinger and Leopoldine Prosperetti, it will draw from art history, literature, gender studies, emblem studies, environmental studies, natural philosophy, natural theology, and botany to treat ideas of verdancy and vegetation in the Renaissance. 

Topics might include:
  • the technical problem of unstable pigments and the difficulty of achieving a durable color green
  • from Giorgio Vasari and Karel van Mander to Goethe: theoretical perspectives on greenery in art
  • the Renaissance print and the dissemination of vegetal imagery
  • theologies of greenery: the vegetative argument in theology and philosophy
  • the role of vegetation in the painted landscape
  • the authority of poetry in natural imagery: from Virgil to Goethe
  • no Tree, No Pastoral. Trees and pastoral scenery
  • women, Luxuria and the color green: vegetative imagery and gender
  • masters of vegetal imagery in the European canon
  • sylvan moments in European art
  • historically envisioning greenery and modern environmentalism

Finally, we welcome articles that address the very topical question, “Was the Renaissance green?”

Art and the Verdant Earth: The Green Worlds of the Renaissance and the Baroque will be an illustrated volume, with individual contributors responsible for any permission and/or art acquisition fees. Final essays, of approximately 8,000 words (incl. notes), and all accompanying b&w illustrations/permissions will be due in spring 2016. For consideration, please send an abstract (max. 500 words), a preliminary list of illustrations (if applicable), and to a 100-word biography to leopoldine@jhu.edu, april.oettinger@goucher.edu, & GoodchildKH@Wofford.edu by August 15. 2015. Acceptance notifications will be emailed by mid-September.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Chiaroscuro as Aesthetic Principle (1300-1600)

Chiaroscuro since Leon Battista Alberti’s De Pictura (1435) has been one of the central subjects characterising painting and sculpture in practice and theory in Italy. Primarily, it concerns the articulation of plastic qualities, the formulation of relief, both in painting and sculpture. In the northern tradition, too, chiaroscuro has been highly valued. Through chiaroscuro, the textures of materials and the structural fabric of their surfaces, including their eye-catching highlights, have been evoked. Chiaroscuro goes hand in hand with an intensification of optical qualities.

In the Cinquecento, the significance of chiaroscuro underwent an important change. The evocation of plasticity and corporeality through a chiaroscuro that created relief was now in part replaced by a tonally defined chiaroscuro, which focused on pictorial qualities. This is the case, for example, in the Clair obscur prints, which developed in both, northern and Italian art. These different uses of chiaroscuro are each linked to differently grounded aesthetic commitments.

Within the context sketched above, we want to understand chiaroscuro as a distinctive aesthetic principle. Our chronological focus is on the period from 1300 to 1600.

The following sections are envisaged:

- chiaroscuro and monochrome painting
- chiaroscuro in the context of drawing and prints
- chiaroscuro and sculpture
- chiaroscuro in the art of Leonardo da Vinci

Further relevant proposals may be added: suggestions will be gladly received.

Interested scholars are cordially invited to present their researches and ideas in the framework of the conference. Please send your abstract (max. 300 words) for a c. 20-minute presentation together with your Curriculum Vitae by August 15, 2015 by email to: claudia.lehmann@ikg.unibe.ch

Presenters will be contacted in September 2015.

CALL FOR EDITORS: Journal of the Northern Renaissance

The Journal of the Northern Renaissance is seeking new recruits to its editorial team. Established in 2009, JNR is a peer-reviewed, open-access online journal dedicated to the study of both the cultural productions and the concept of the Northern Renaissance.

As several members of the current editorial team will be either moving on or taking up additional duties over the coming year, we are looking for three new editors. For each of these roles (see below) previous editorial experience and/or knowledge of online publishing and coding would be valuable but is not necessarily required. Equally important will be a willingness to learn and to work together with fellow editors, and a passionate interest in the Northern Renaissance, reflected in both a research specialism and a broader curiosity about the wider field.

JNR’s remit includes literature, art and architectural history and material cultures, musicology, philosophy, politics, theology and the history of science. In recruiting new editors we hope to strengthen the journal’s interdisciplinary nature, and we would therefore welcome applications from across this range of disciplines. We would also especially welcome prospective editors from outside the UK, and those who are working on less-studied aspects of the Northern Renaissance.

These positions are, at present, unpaid: we all give our time voluntarily. However, they do offer an invaluable opportunity to develop useful skills and networks, to witness the peer reviewing and publishing process from within, and to broaden one’s engagement with the rich variety of contemporary scholarship on the Renaissance in the north and its manifold conceptualisations.

The roles we are seeking to fill are as follows:

(a) Associate/General Editor

The new editor will work with the current editor and associate editors to produce new issues, identify and approach peer reviewers, and determine the future direction of the journal. S/he will also help develop Polaris, a new JNR venture publishing shorter discussion pieces and polemics. We hope to recruit an associate editor who in 6-12 months’ time will be ready and willing to take over as General Editor, with overall responsibility for JNR. We would expect the new editor to already be an established scholar with a good publication record. An ability to network, and to engage with topics and scholars beyond one’s immediate research specialisms, would also be invaluable.

(b) Associate Editor (Reviews)

JNR publishes book and exhibition reviews on a rolling basis. We are looking for a new reviews editor who will take responsibility for soliciting books for review, identifying and contacting reviewers, and editing and posting reviews to the journal website as they are received.

(c) Assistant Editor

The assistant editor will aid the editorial team in preparing articles for online publication, and also contribute to the running of Polaris. The role would be ideally suited to a doctoral student.

To apply for one or more of these posts, please send a short CV (no more than 4 sides) to northernrenaissance@gmail.com, together with a brief covering letter or email (no more than 500 words) saying why you think you would be well suited to JNR, by 1 September 2015. Informal enquiries can also be addressed to us at this email address.

LRS: The Performance and Experience of Domestic Service


Saturday 18th July 2015, 2pm-6pm

Room 538, Birkbeck, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HX

In early modern England, domestic conduct literature, legal treatises, and state-sanctioned homilies propagated the ideal of the home as a self-contained system of government; the loyalty of domestic servants was therefore of political significance. Performances of domestic service onstage explored early modern anxieties and fantasies concerning the interference, surveillance, and potential insubordination of the early modern servant, and the conflicts of loyalty and illicit knowledge that domestic service entailed. This half-day symposium brings together historians, literary scholars, and actors to explore the relationship between the experience of servants in early modern England, and the representation of servants onstage. Talks will be illustrated by performances of depositions from church court records and scenes from plays.

2pm Welcome

2.05pm Laura Gowing (King’s College London), ‘Performing Service: Stories from the London Church Courts’ (with performances of depositions)

3.10pm Coffee break

3.25pm Catherine Richardson (Kent), ‘Work and Leisure: Domestic Behaviour and the Quotidian Spaces of Service’ (with performances of depositions)

4.30pm Performances of scenes from domestic tragedies

LRS: Anglican Global Crossings and the Specters of Islam in the Early Modern Period

5.30pm, Room 112, 43 Gordon Square, London WC1

Wine will be served.  All welcome. Any queries please contact s.wiseman@bbk.ac.uk

We welcome Professor Jyotsna Singh to deliver the London Renaissance Summer Lecture, and to be London Renaissance Summer Fellow. Do join us for the lecture which inaugurates her fellowship:

Anglican Global Crossings and the Specters of Islam in the Early Modern Period

This paper offers a comparative re-examination of the narratives of two Anglican Ministers, interested in travel writing — Samuel Purchas( 1555-1626), and Edward Terry (1519-1660). I focus on how both offer complicated mediations of Islam, bringing to life the global crossings and identity formations of both Christians and Muslims. Terry spent three years in India, 1616-19, as the Chaplain for Sir Thomas Roe, Ambassador to the Mughal Court of the Emperor Jahangir and emissary of the East India Company. His detailed journal, A Voyage to East India (1625 and 1655) contains an important discussion of Indian religions, most notably of the differences between Hindus and “Mahometans.” It is telling that Terry’s journal was published by Samuel Purchas in his huge anthology of travel writings, Purchas, his Pilgrimage or Relations of the World and the Religions Observed … (1614) and in, another edition, Purchas, His Pilgrimes (1625), both of which focus on Islam in Book III. How do Islam and Christianity emerge in these Anglican accounts? While both Anglicans rejected Islam, viewing "religion" as synonymous to Christian truth, they also interpreted Islam with some complexity and ambiguity, notable in their efforts to categorize new ethnographic knowledge about the Muslim world. Finally, the discourse of “religion” that emerges in these Anglican accounts serves as an important context for understanding other Christian engagements with Islam in India and elsewhere, including those of other English Chaplains, Jesuits, and Dutch religious personages.

Call for Contributions: Literary & Scientific Cultures of Early Modernity

General Editors: Mary Thomas Crane, Boston College, and Henry S. Turner, Rutgers University

For more than a decade now, Literary and Scientific Cultures of Early Modernity, http://www.ashgate.com/LITSCI, has provided a forum for groundbreaking work on the relations between literary and scientific discourses in Europe, during a period when both fields were in a crucial moment of historical formation. We welcome proposals that address the many overlaps between modes of imaginative writing typical of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries—poetics, rhetoric, prose narrative, dramatic production, utopia—and the vocabularies, conceptual models, and intellectual methods of newly emergent 'scientific' fields such as medicine, astronomy, astrology, alchemy, psychology, mapping, mathematics, or natural history. In order to reflect the nature of intellectual inquiry during the period, the series is interdisciplinary in orientation and publishes monographs, edited collections, and selected critical editions of primary texts relevant to an understanding of the mutual implication of literary and scientific epistemologies.

As the series continues to evolve, we particularly seek submissions to do with:

· alchemy
· science in the New World
· meteorology
· knowledge networks
· global science
· machines
· poetics and science
· navigation/mapmaking

Call for Contributions: Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon (1609–1674) A Volume of Essays

EDWARD HYDE, 1st EARL OF CLARENDON (1609–1674)

A VOLUME OF ESSAYS


Contributions are invited towards the first volume of essays on Edward Hyde, 1st earl of Clarendon (1609–1674), statesman, exile, grandfather of monarchs, and the author of works including The History of the Rebellion and The Life of Edward, Earl of Clarendon. As Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Chancellor and, at the Restoration, Chief Minister, Clarendon was an influential figure at the courts of Charles I and Charles II. His downfall, following his impeachment in 1667, was sudden and permanent, compelled as he was to live the last seven years of his life in exile in France. At a time when the study of royalists and royalism is flourishing, this interdisciplinary collection aims to provide the modern critical attention Clarendon’s life and writings merit. Chapter proposals of c. 250 words on any literary or biographical aspect of Clarendon should be emailed to the editor, Philip Major, by the extended deadline of 1st September 2015.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Early Modern Women and the Book: Ownership, Circulation, and Collecting

Proposals are sought for a panel — “Early Modern Women and the Book: Ownership, Circulation, and Collecting” — to be proposed for the annual meeting of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing (SHARP) in Montreal and Longueuil, Quebec, July 6-11, 2015.

We seek proposals for papers that examine early modern British women who owned books, circulated books, or created libraries or book collections between 1500-1700, a period that saw increased literacy and a revolution in book production and circulation. Scholars have reconstructed and assessed the collections and libraries of Renaissance men, including Harvey, Dee, Jonson, Hales, and Drake; women’s book ownership, as a subject of scholarly inquiry, “awaits its historian,” observes David McKitterick (2000) in a study of Elizabeth Puckering’s library. What resources (commonplace books, poetry miscellanies, inventories, etc.) shed light on women’s circulation of books within communities? What are the marks — figurative, material, cultural — of women’s book usage, ownership, and collecting? What can the creation of book collections or libraries tell us about social status, family ties, confessional affiliations, education, economic status, travels? What methodologies illuminate these interrelated topics?

By Oct. 1, 2014, please send a file containing a 350 word abstract and a 50-word biographical statement to Leah Knight (lknight@brocku.ca), Micheline White (micheline.white@carleton.ca), and Elizabeth Sauer (esauer@brocku.ca) for consideration.

Music in the Early Modern Indoor Playhouse

Thursday 2 July, 6pm. Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe
With Dr Simon Smith (The Queen’s College, Oxford) and Dr Will Tosh.

Cast and consort members TBC.

Join the Globe’s Early Modern Music Research Associate Simon Smith as he explores music and space in the early modern indoor playhouse. We might assume that seventeenth-century musicians kept to the gallery as the action unfolded below, but as Simon will reveal, early musicians were much more mobile than we have thought. This workshop will feature excerpts from plays including the little-staged The Insatiate Countess, and live musical performances by Globe musicians including a lutenist, cornett- and sackbut-players.
