Established in 2005, The Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies aims to consider how new scholarship and new interdisciplinary methods and approaches have refigured our understanding of several developments traditionally associated with the term and period Renaissance.

Over the last twenty years or so scholarship has revolutionised our understanding of the Renaissance not only in details but in approaches and methods. Even scholars remain less than well informed about developments in other disciplines while a wider community of curators and librarians and the interested public is often uninformed of the latest scholarship.

The Centre aims to address these issues by covering a range of themes and topics, delivered in a number of ways to academics and the public. The Centre offers a MA in Renaissance Studies, as well as public lectures and collaborations with other institutions.
