New HLQ issue live on Project MUSE. Articles explore imagined art in antislavery lit, deception in Stuart politics, reader engagement with the first English Quran, geopolitics in More's Utopia, anthologizing Shakespeare, and a bad actor in a c17 domestic dispute. #earlymodern #skystorians

Now that terms and semesters are in full swing, giving this cfp a boost.
Speaking as one of the editors, we'd love to consider your work on the topic of "Early Modern Women and Migrancy." Our Forum feature is a great way to try out ideas in a shorter-length format.
