Subject: CFP: Theatrical Patronage in Early Modern Europe (UK) (4/30/05;
9/10/05-9/11/05)
Theatrical Patronage in Early Modern Europe
Keele University
10-11 September 2005
"Where should a poet nowe a Patron finde,
To please his own, and please his Patrons minde?"
This is a call for papers on any topic relating to
theatrical patronage in Early Modern Europe. The
conference will draw together scholars working on
patrons and patronage networks in the British Isles
and mainland Europe; it will also extend the focus of
patronage studies beyond royalty and the nobility to
consider gentry and civic patronage. We are
especially keen to investigate the dynamic between
patrons and the theatre as it affects not only
canonical dramatists, but also actors, singers, female
performers and children.
We would be particularly interested in papers engaging
with any of the following areas:
Patronage and the circulation of dramatic texts
(including dedicatory verses)
Kinship relations and patronage networks
Non-elite and non-metropolitan patronage
Patronage by and of women and children
Theatrical representations of patronage
Patronage of commercial and amateur performance
Please send abstracts (250 words) to Karen Britland
(k.r.britland_at_engl.keele.ac.uk) or Lucy Munro
(l.munro_at_engl.keele.ac.uk), or to School of
English, Keele University, Staffordshire, ST5 5BG, by
30 April 2005.
