Visual Culture in Early Modernity – Call For Books

Information on submitting a manuscript for Ashgate’s Visual Culture in Early Modernity series has been released.

Series Editor: Allison Levy

A forum for the critical inquiry of the visual arts in the early modern world, Visual Culture in Early Modernity promotes new models of inquiry and new narratives of early modern art and its history. We welcome proposals for monographs and essay collections which consider the cultural production and reception of images and objects.

The range of topics covered in this series includes, but is not limited to, painting, sculpture and architecture as well as material objects, such as domestic furnishings, religious and/or ritual accessories, costume, scientific and/or medical apparata, erotica, ephemera and printed matter. We seek innovative investigations of western and non-western visual culture produced between 1400 and 1800.
