'The Mistress-Court of Mighty Europe'
Configuring Europe and European identities
in the Early Modern Period.
Literature. History. Representation.
An international two-day conference hosted by the Department of English, University of Wales, Bangor 11-13 September 2004
How did Europeans represent each other in the Early Modern period? To what
extent were discourses of geographical and cultural identity shaped by the
political rhetoric and religious allegiances of the period? by the literary
output? by scholarly correspondence? by travel literature? by diplomatic reportage?
by merchant writing? by developments in cartography? by civic displays? by
music, iconography and the fine arts?...
This conference will concentrate upon the textual and visual politics of linking European geography and identity in the Early Modern period. Proposals will be welcomed from academics, independent researchers and postgraduates which consider specific national, regional and/or civic identities in Europe in addition to those which focus upon the representation of the continent as a whole during the period.
Conference paper proposals should be sent to Dr. Andrew Hiscock by e-mail (ELS042@Bangor.ac.uk) by fax (codes for UK + 01248 382102) or by post to:
