he Early Modern Cultural Studies series is dedicated to the
exploration of literature, history, and culture in the context of cultural
exchange and globalization. We begin with the assumption that in the
twenty-first century, literary criticism, literary theory, historiography,
and cultural studies have become so interwoven that we can now
think of them as an eclectic and only loosely unified (but still recog-
nizable) approach to formerly distinct fields of inquiry such as litera-
ture, society, history, and culture. This series furthermore presumes
that the early modern period was witness to an incipient process of
transculturation through exploration, mercantilism, colonization, and
migration that set into motion a process of globalization that is still
with us today. The purpose of this series is to bring together this
eclectic approach, which freely and unapologetically crosses discipli-
nary, theoretical, and political boundaries, with early modern texts
and artifacts that bear the traces of transculturation and globalization.
This process can be studied on a large as well as on a small scale,
and the books in this series are dedicated to both. It is just as
concerned with the analyses of colonial encounters and native repre-
sentations of those encounters as it is with representations of the other
in Shakespeare, gender politics, the cultural impact of the presence of
strangers/foreigners in London, or the consequences of farmers’
migration to that city. This series is as interested in documenting
cultural exchanges between British, Portuguese, Spanish, or Dutch
colonizers and native peoples as it is in telling the stories of returning
English soldiers who served in foreign armies on the continent of
Europe in the late sixteenth century.
