RENAISSANCE forum An Electronic Journal of Early-Modern Literary and Historical Studies

---

About the Journal

Renaissance Forum is an interdisciplinary refereed journal. It specialises in early-modern English literary and historical scholarship and in the critical methodologies of these fields. The journal is published biannually by an editorial board based in the Departments of English and History at the University of Hull.

Its aim is twofold: to offer a platform for work of the highest scholarly standard in an electronic medium, and to provide a forum for scholarly and theoretical debate of a kind that is not possible in most conventional journals. It will include reviews of major publications.

Articles may be downloaded and either stored electronically or printed by the subscriber.

Back numbers are available through the Home Page.

Renaissance Forum is indexed by The Annual Bibliography of English Literature and Historical Abstracts.
