Interdisciplinary in its approach, Maritime Humanities, 1400–1800: Cultures of the Sea puts maritime humanities at the centre of a transnational historiographical scholarship that seeks to transform traditional land-based histories of states and nations by focusing on the cultural meanings of the early modern ocean. The series welcomes proposals from across the full range of humanities subjects, and invites submissions written in English that conceptually engage with issues of globalization, post-colonialism, eco-criticism, environmentalism, and the histories of science and technology. We consider proposals for monographs or essay collections, but in the case of the latter, we consider proposals for a complete volume only. We are not able to place individual chapters.
