1992-2007<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Northern Renaissance Seminar was founded in 1992\u00a0by colleagues\u00a0at\u00a0the University of Liverpool, the University of Keele, and Lancaster University to provide a counterpart to the London Renaissance Seminar.\u00a0Founding members were\u00a0Professor Helen Wilcox (now at Bangor University),\u00a0Professor Elspeth Graham (now at\u00a0Liverpool John Moores), Professor Marion Wynne-Davies (now University of Surrey) and\u00a0Professor Richard Dutton (now Ohio State University). As well as organising one-day seminars to encourage dialogue between established scholars and new postgraduates, the NRS also promoted the publication of primary texts which were difficult to obtain\u00a0for teaching purposes before Early English Books Online and other digital resources became more widely available. The Series\u00a0Renaissance Texts and Studies, published by Ryburn Publishing and Keele University Press,\u00a0published critical\u00a0editions\u00a0such as\u00a0Thomas Lodge’s Rosalynd <\/em>ed. Brian Nellist (1995), Jacobean City Pageants, ed. Richard Dutton (1995), Lady Mary Wroth: Poems, <\/em>ed. R. E. Pritchard (1996), Elizabeth Cary’s The Tragedy of Mariam, <\/em>ed. Stephanie Hodgson-Wright (1996). It also published a collection of essays\u00a0Voicing Women: Gender and Sexuality in Early Modern Writing, <\/em>ed. Kate Chegdzoy, Melanie Hansen and Suzanne Trill (1996).<\/p>\n

2007-2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reconvened\u00a0in 2007 by Professor Robert Appelbaum, Professor Alison Findlay and Dr Liz Oakley-Brown,\u00a0the Northern Renaissance Seminar (NRS)\u00a0was a peripatetic series of one-day events for the discussion\u00a0of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century\u00a0literature and culture. The NRS archive of events and blogs\u00a0is contained on this site.<\/p>\n

Between 2007 and 2017, Northern Renaissance Seminars were organised by:<\/p>\n

Dr Susan Anderson, Leeds Trinity University | Dr. Daniel Cadman, Sheffield Hallam University | Hannah Coates, Steven Foster, Kit Heyam, Giovanni Pozzetti, Claire Rennie and Claudia Rogers, Leeds University | Niamh Cooney and Jana Pridalova, Leeds University | Professor Nandini Das, Liverpool University | Dr Jessica Dyson, Portsmouth University | Dr Paul Frazer, Northumbria University | Dr Adam Hansen, Northumbria University | Dr Kevin Killeen and Sam Ellis, York University | Anna Mackenzie, Chester University | Maria Shmygol and Jonathan Day, Liverpool University<\/p>\n

2017-<\/strong><\/p>\n

On\u00a0December 1\u00a02017, and in order to engage with a wider remit of literature and culture produced between 1250 to 1700, the NRS was relaunched as\u00a0the Northern Premodern Seminar (NPS). The seminar’s core values remain the same.<\/p>\n

Currently, the NPS is\u00a0managed by\u00a0Dr Liz Oakley-Brown\u00a0<\/a>and Dr Clare Egan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please contact\u00a0Liz Oakley-Brown\u00a0(e.oakley-brown@lancaster.ac.uk<\/a>) and Clare Egan (c.egan2@lancaster.ac.uk<\/a>) if you would like to organise a seminar or join the seminar’s mailing list.<\/p>\n
