Interdisciplinary Renaissance & Early Modern Seminar.

We are delighted to share details of this academic year’s final meeting of the Interdisciplinary Renaissance & Early Modern Seminar. Dr Natalya Din-Kariuki (Warwick) will present a paper titled '"More particularly described, then it hath been ever done before in our English tongue": travel writing, chorography, and pilgrimage in Coryats Crudities (1611)'.

Natalya's work examines the literary and intellectual history of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, with a particular focus on travel writing, transnational and transcultural encounters, modes of cosmopolitanism, and rhetoric and poetics. At present, she is completing her first book project, provisionally titled Peregrine Words: The Rhetoric of Seventeenth-Century English Travel Writing. She has written about early modern religious prose, including the sermons and lectures of Lancelot Andrewes. She writes on contemporary literature, and is the author of a number of essays on the novelist Helen Oyeyemi. Natalya also held a fellowship at the Brotherton Library in 2019, during which she explored the materials on early modern travel held in the library's Special Collections.

Please sign up for the event using this link – a Zoom invitation will be sent out to all registered participants on the day of the seminar. We look forward to seeing many of you there to hear a fascinating paper and to raise a glass or mug to the end of an excellent year of online seminars.
