(Re-)Contextualizing Literary and Cultural History: The Representation of the Past in Literary and Material Culture | 1:a upplagan

This volume holds a number of contributions from a conference held at Stockholm University 2-4 September, 2010: (Re)ContextualizingLiterary and Cultural History. The aim of the conference was to gather scholars from a variety of disciplines, not only to investigate material or literary history and culture but also to bring theoretical aspects from different elds of research into play. The conference thus brought together scholars to (re-)examine the importance of historical perspectives in literary studies, and to scrutinize the impact of cultural studies on early modern scholarship. A selection of revised papers was chosen for publication in this volume. It is divided into three parts: I Theorizing Literary and Cultural History II Ordering Thoughts-Making Sense of the World, and III Communicating Things and Thoughts.
