This seminar aims to create a broad-based community of graduate students at the beginning stages of work on their dissertations in early modern literature. The goal of the seminar will be to offer comments, perspectives, methods, and criticisms from a larger group of specialists than would be available on any single campus, and to encourage broader and deeper use of the unique resources of the Newberry Library and the Center for Renaissance Studies.

Enrollment limited to 12 students who have completed all examinations and achieved ABD status by the time of the seminar; participants will be selected by competitive application.
