This international conference will bring together scholars working on the reception of texts, the reputations of authors and individuals, and the circulation of people and things in the early modern world.
- How did texts circulate in the early modern world?
- How were authorial reputations fashioned?
- How did gender affect the reception and/or circulation of texts?
- How did circulation forge religious, scientific, or social networks?
- How did cross-cultural encounters affect the circulation of texts, ideas, reputations, people, and goods across national and linguistic boundaries?
- How were texts and authors received through media such as embroidery, artwork, or musical settings?
- How can materiality affect reception?
- What can quantitative methodologies tell us about textual transmission and/or authorial or personal reputations?
- How can digital scholarship help us understand networks of circulation and influence?
