In this Issue
Parergon publishes articles on all aspects of medieval and early modern studies. We publish one open issue and one guest edited special issue each year, each with up to ten articles and a substantial book review section. The journal's articles encompass the art, architecture, literature, theatre, music, philosophy, theology and history of the period. We are especially interested in material that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries and takes new approaches, including explorations of the reception and afterlives of the medieval and early modern periods and work that amplifies overlooked voices, histories, works and objects. Parergon welcomes submissions that complicate and reimagine the medieval and early modern past, including work in critical race studies, gender and sexuality studies and environmental humanities, alongside other approaches and topics. We aim to be the leading journal for the work of medieval and early modern researchers from the southern hemisphere. Parergon is the journal of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (ANZAMEMS).
