Event presentation
Few period demarcations remain as stubborn as 1642 and 1660 in the study of English theatrical culture. This conference seeks to reinvigorate the conversation around Stuart drama, 1603–1707, an era whose continuities have been obscured by periodisation and disciplinary norms. Bringing together scholars from literary studies, history, book history, theatre history, modern languages, and music history, this conference’s keynotes, roundtables, workshops, and paper sessions will reconsider drama in the long seventeenth century.
Confirmed Keynotes:
- Brandi Adams (Arizona State University)
- David McInnis (University of Melbourne)
- Perry Mills (Edward’s Boys)
- Lucy Munro (King’s College London)
- Deborah Payne (American University, Washington DC)
