[O]rganized in Fall 2001, the early modern group provides a forum for interdisciplinary discussion among faculty members with research interests in the early modern period (ca. 1500-1800). Participating faculty are drawn from a number of departments: Art History, English, French, History, the Honors Program, Music, Philosophy, and Spanish. The group is composed of UWM faculty members as well as faculty from other institutions in the area such as Marquette, Lawrence, and UW-Whitewater. Testifying to the relatively expansive and porous boundaries of the period, the research interests of group members encompass a wide range of disciplinary, geographic, and chronological contexts (e.g., the medieval period).

This colloquium was called in response to issues raised by Peter Clark concerning reading and writing practices in his 1976 survey of three Early Modern Kentish towns. Specific issues concerned the value of sources such as probate inventories, the under representation of women in the available evidence, and the paucity of evidence for questions, such as, to what extent inventorised books and manuscripts were read, and how they were read and used. The key focus was on how far research, particularly for the provinces, has developed since Peter Clark wrote his article. For the programme, click here.

Professor James will speak broadly about her current research on the political Ovid of the early modern period and especially the relationship of Ovid's wanton verse to the political liberty of speech (parrhesia). The book project, entitled "Taking liberties: Ovid in renaissance poetry and political thought", discusses the political significance of Ovid to Spenser, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Jonson, the Caroline poets, and Milton.
