Mittelalter und Renaissance in der Romania

Mit den Akten der Tagung Aktualität des Mittelalters und der Renaissance in der Romanistik erscheint der erste Band der Schriftenreihe Mittelalter und Renaissance in der Romania (MIRA), die sich zum Ziel setzt, die Ergebnisse der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit im Rahmen des gleichnamigen wissenschaftlichen Netzwerkes zu den Epochen Mittelalter und Renaissance in den romanischsprachigen Ländern zu veröffentlichen. Daneben sollen auch unabhängige Untersuchungen zu dieser Thematik in die Reihe aufgenommen werden, um so möglichst umfassend jenen Leserkreis zu erreichen, der sich für diesen gleichermaßen zeitlich-historisch wie sprachlich-kulturell definierten Gegenstandsbereich interessiert. Neben sprach- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Studien werden kulturwissenschaftlich sowie historisch ausgerichtete Untersuchungen Schwerpunkte der Schriftenreihe bilden, die aber auch weitere Disziplinen wie etwa die Kunstgeschichte, die Philosophie, die historischen Sozialwissenschaften oder die Theologie mit einbeziehen möchte. Die Gründung der Schriftenreihe ist mit der Hoffnung verbunden, zu einer Fokussierung der verschiedensten Forschungsarbeiten auf dem skizzierten Gebiet beizutragen, indem diese über die bestehenden Fachgrenzen hinaus ein Publikationsforum finden, um so den Kontakt von Forschern unterschiedlicher Bereiche bis hin zu einer transdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit anzuregen. Aus unserer Begeisterung für die Thematik und dem Bestreben heraus, diesen historischen Untersuchungsbereich nachhaltig zu stärken, resultiert der Wunsch, dass sich unsere Schriftenreihe durch Lebendigkeit auszeichnen möge. Diese Lebendigkeit wird getragen von der aktiven Beteiligung aller zum Mittelalter und der Renaissance arbeitenden Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen, insbesondere natürlich von ihrer Bereitschaft, die verschiedenen Studien der MIRA-Reihe zur Kenntnis zu nehmen und die Reihe auch selbst als Publikationsforum zu nutzen. Auf diesem Weg hoffen wir, zu einer lebhaften und innovativen Forschung beizutragen, der wir uns alle verpflichtet fühlen.

Court Cultures of the Middle Ages and Renaissance

ISSN: 2296-4118

Court Cultures of the Middle Ages and Renaissance is a peer-reviewed series focused on the inter- and multi-disciplinary cultural output of medieval and Renaissance court culture on an international scale. The series invites proposals for single- and multi-authored monographs, edited collections and editions of early works relating to the court. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit proposals which highlight the central importance of the court to medieval and Renaissance culture, including projects that explore the life and/or works of writers, artists, historiographers, soldiers, composers, diplomats and courtiers, in the East as well as the West. Other areas of particular interest are courtly ritual (e.g. chivalric code, ceremonies, spectacle) and literary and artistic representations of the court. The series will also explore the role of the court in shaping national, religious and political identities, as well as its function as an interface between different cultures. The series is affiliated with the Trinity Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Trinity College Dublin. Each proposal is vetted by the Editorial Board and Chief Editor and undergoes a comprehensive peer-review process.

Studies in Nineteenth-Century British Literature

"Books in this series examine the poetry and prose produced by British writers from the time of the French Revolution to the death of Queen Victoria. Historical events – rather than traditional literary categories or dates – define the scope of the series because they better convey a sense of the social consciousness that animates literary undertakings during this age. While the series includes a wide range of approaches to nineteenth-century British works, its special focus is on studies that relate this literature to its cultural context(s). Manuscripts addressing their subjects’ social, political, or historical situations, ideals, influences, or receptions are especially welcome; manuscripts analyzing the implications of classifying this literature as “Romantic” or “Victorian” or of separating it into genres are also encouraged. Authors should write in English, though they may appropriately compare British works with those in other languages."

Writing and Culture in the Long Nineteenth Century

The long nineteenth century, extending from the Napoleonic Wars to the First World War, was a time of enormous change and experimentation. This series aims to publish the work of scholars and critics alert to these changes in a variety of spheres, including literature, art, the sciences, philosophy, and economics. The editors have a special interest in work that addresses questions of aesthetics, poetics, and form at the intersection between the written word, the visual and decorative arts, architecture, and music. Many scholars are now working on the cultural matrix out of which these forms emerge and recent critical thinking has shown how important was the prevailing economic, political, scientific, and philosophical climate in creating the appropriate conditions for artistic production. Some volumes in the series focus on specific writers and texts, while others consider the connection between writing, art, philosophy, and science and the broader cultural horizon. All contribute significantly to the widening sphere of nineteenth-century literary studies.
