The Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies publishes work
across the disciplines on topics ranging from late antiquity to the
seventeenth century, work that is both historically grounded and informed
by the broad intellectual shifts that have occured in the academy.
Theoretical inquiries and a wide range of political initiatives have
transformed the contexts in which we work. These transformations have
profound consequences for our attempts to understand past cultures even as
they encourage our critical reflections on the present and its relations
to the pasts that we study. We aim to foster the rigorous investigation of
past cultural forms and their historiographical representations,
representations whose political dimensions will be of special interest.
The particular pasts on which we focus are those of medieval and early
modern Europe and Western Asia. They are the pasts of material objects as
well as texts; of women as well as men; of merchants, workers, and
audiences as well as patrons; of Jews and Muslims as well as Christians.
We seek to publish articles that are both informed by historical inquiry
and alert to issues raised by contemporary theoretical debate. We expect
that essays will be grounded in an intimate knowledge of a particular
past; their argumentation will reveal a concern for the theoretical and
methodological issues involved in interpretation. Indeed, we are
particularly committed to work that seeks to overcome the polarization
between "history" and "theory" in the study of premodern Western culture.
The journal should be a home for empirical studies informed by theory. It
should also be a locus for theoretical debates that are illuminated by an
understanding of medieval and early modern culture or that contribute to
our knowledge of that past.
