The two keynotes were representative of our wide variety of topics, from land and maritime warfare to the boundaries of legitimacy surrounding early modern violence and the impact and representation of such violence in its various forms. All through a range of excellent panels!

We would like to thank our two keynote speakers, Mark Stoyle and Jo Esra. While Mark took us back to Civil War Exeter with a talk and guided walk along the city walls, Jo made us think about the emotional consequences of such violence by looking into the experiences of pirate captives ⚔️🏴‍☠️

Day two of the conference complete! With some excellent panels and speakers, day two was completely filled with some amazing papers on Privateering, Methodology, Naval Violence, Representations of Violence on the Stage, and England's relations with her Neighbours in the Late Seventeenth Century.

We will continue with more representations of violence, this time on the early modern stage, before returning with some more pictures of maritime violence with naval accounts and concluding by discussing England's conflicting relations with its neighbours in the late 17c 🌍

On Day 2, we'll be adding a maritime flavour by looking at unlawful violence at sea ⚓ Starting with Dr Jo Esra's keynote on North African pirates and interpreting interdisciplinary approaches to violence before moving on to the transformation of privateering during the 18c 🏴‍☠️

Call for papers for the Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World Conference, taking place at the University of Exeter on 30-31 October. We are exploring early modern conflict in all its forms. We particularly seek to unpack the interactions between the more traditional aspects of conflict, such as the political, tactical and strategic, with the more human side of it, including sociocultural approaches that explore experiences, representations and impacts of violence. As such, we particularly welcome proposals that look beyond purely military history and break chronological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries. We welcome proposals for individual papers of up to 20 minutes, or full panels of three to four papers, on any aspect of conflict, war and violence in the early modern period. Speakers might consider, but are not limited to, the following themes: Physical, tactical, operational and strategic aspects of warfare. Martial identities, values and motivations. Notions of gender, race, class and religion. Remembering, (re)imagining and representing violence and/or conflict. The experience of violence, its impact and the everyday at war. Popular allegiance in early modern conflict. Maritime violence and naval warfare. The bureaucracy of conflict, finance and the law. Abstracts of up to 300 words, along with a biographical note, should be sent to earlymodernwar@gmail.com by Friday 5th September.

Please help us share the call for papers for this exciting conference I am co-organising this autumn! 📜

We welcome submissions from anyone looking at any aspect of early modern violence, particularly those looking beyond military history, and those who would not call themselves historians at all 🗡️⚓
