MA in Early Modern Studies, 1300-1700 The MA in English Studies: Early Modern Studies, 13001700 at Queen Mary gives you the opportunity to explore the vibrant culture that existed in Europe during this period. Our approach to this material is genuinely interdisciplinary: you will look at the literature, history, religion, and visual culture of the period, and be taught by experts working at the cutting edge of research in these areas. Specially designed modules examine key debates in the period, and address the central issues that inform current discussions about what constitutes the early modern period. Among the topics that we investigate are: the relations between medieval and early modern; the role of individual and institutional networks in creating knowledge; the place of mapping in defining religious, ethnic, imperial and national identity; changes in ideas about the self, the state and the body, and the impact of new technologies on book history and the shift from manuscript to print culture. In all cases, our aim is to generate a historical understanding of the key movements, debates, and ideas which shaped the period.
