English and Italian Hybridity

CFP for Renaissance Society of America, March 30-April 1, 2017, Chicago, IL.

The connections between Italy and England are manifold, including literary exchange, religious migration, lexical transfer and international trade. We welcome proposals addressing any aspect of the mutual influence, perceptions and appropriations between Italy and England in the early modern period. Because of the inherent breadth of the subject, we encourage papers that practice source study, social history, theater and art history, and material studies. We welcome papers focused on Italy or England.  Please submit a title, 150 word abstract and short CV to costolas@southwestern.edu and saengerm@southwestern.edu, prior to June 5, 2016.
