It is a commonplace that the advent of printing in Europe revolutionised communication and the transmission of ideas. This Northern Renaissance Seminar event seeks to complicate and move beyond the \u201cprinting revolution\u201d narrative to consider the messy and multiplicitous facets of communication, correspondence and transmission in the early modern world. How was it conceptualised, theorised or deployed as metaphor? What were its geographical, temporal or linguistic limits? How might it be transgressive or disruptive, and who might try to circumscribe it? We welcome contributions from a range of disciplines, including history, literature, art history, archaeology, languages, and drama.<\/p>\n

We are delighted to announce Dr Sara Barker (University of Leeds) as the event\u2019s keynote speaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proposals are now being invited for 20-minute papers<\/strong>.\u00a0 Topics to consider may include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n
