Medieval Institute Publications – Series
• Research in Medieval and Early Modern Culture (monographs) and Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Culture (edited collections) These partner series publish leading research on cultural history throughout the pre-modern world. I welcome proposals for books based on primary-source research into literary, historical, and material culture.
• Publications of the Richard Rawlinson Center is dedicated to the study of history, literature, and material culture of early medieval England, in its wider temporal and geographic context. Inspired by the legacy of manuscript scholar and collector Richard Rawlinson, the series publishes monographs and edited collections based on primary-source research.
• Northern Medieval World: On the Margins of Europe This interdisciplinary series is devoted to the study of the medieval North Atlantic zone, including Scandinavia, ’Rus, north-western Europe, the Danelaw, and Celtic Britain and Ireland. Recent books have included historical, textual, material, literary, religious, philosophical, gender, and manuscript studies. I welcome proposals for monographs, edited books on a single theme, scholarly editions, and translations.
• Christianities Before Modernity
CBM explores the diversity of ‘Christianities’, Christian thought, and religious experiences in the pre-modern world. This interdisciplinary and comparative series embraces studies of history, literature, music, theater, classics, folklore, art history, archaeology, religious studies, philosophy, gender studies, anthropology, sociology and other areas in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Atlantic world.
This series is for the study of pre-modern games and play, broadly and creatively understood. Studies of humour, games, puzzles, board games, wordplay, jokes, childhood, leisure, sports—cultural, social, and interdisciplinary—are all welcome. The series publishes monographs and essay collections centred on Europe, North America, South America.
• Festschriften, Occasional Papers, and Lectures
This series is for cutting-edge arguments about the pre-modern past. It is one of the few scholarly book series to recognize the power of a team of scholars—inspired by a distinguished scholar—publishing together in order to drive the field forward in new directions. The series celebrates eminent scholarship with original collaborative research (e.g. essay collections on a single theme). It also publishes scholarly public lectures and lecture series, to capture the force of the spoken word in sharing new ideas.
