The organisers welcome papers that concentrate on the role the Low Countries played in the English book trade from the late 15th to the early 17th century.
Contributors will discuss printers and their printing houses, the production and distribution of books, the authors and translators published, the language choices made in original works and translations, as well as the economic, political and religious contexts within which the printers, authors and translators of the time worked. Special attention will be paid to the distribution of the Bible and various forms of new knowledge for both a scholarly and a larger community in England.
The organisers particularly look forward to papers that bring innovative insights from new perspectives and with the help of new methodologies, e.g. transnational history, history of material culture, provenance research, translation studies, history of typographic design, and digital humanities.
