Welcome

The books published in this series pursue particular historical themes that illuminate the interactive and interconnected dimensions of the early modern world, roughly periodized from 1400 to 1800. These studies either take a comparative approach to commensurate historical developments in various parts of the world or examine trans-regional patterns and forces that affected local societies.

The latest issue of Renaissance Studies (Vol 33, no. 5, November 2019) is now available on-line via the Wiley-Blackwell website.
