Delighted to see our SI of Renaissance Studies out in the world now!

[Annalisa Nicholson @apuddleofmuddle]

3+yrs ago, @CMFgillain & I organised a conference on early modern exile. It's been a minute, but our SI on 'Exile & Innovation' for Renaissance Studies is now available, starting with our introduction where we assess the stakes of our key terms 👇

So happy to see this out in the world! Our Special Issue explores displacement & innovation, interrogates the term 'exile', & foregrounds interdisciplinarity as a method especially apt for exile studies where border-crossings converge... Thank you to all our contributors ✨
