In recent years, early modernists have shown an increased interest in politics and the political, from Cambridge School-inspired investigations of the history of political thought to more theoretical engagements with political theology, bio-politics, and the various rhizomatic strands of posthumanism. At the same time, early modern studies has been infused by an intensive and extensive concern with matters ecological and environmental, with a surge of scholarly work investigating how the literary and cultural production of early modern England can be read as representing and intervening in pressing problems of human/environment interaction and relation. This conference seeks to gather together work from both of these disciplinary vectors, and to provide a forum for individual investigations as well as a mutual conversation about some of the broader political, theoretical, and methodological motives of the present political and ecological turns.
