Research on Tap: From Renaissance to Enlightenment (2016)
Hosted by James A. Winn, William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor of English, and Director, Boston University Center for the Humanities.
The Early Modern Period, roughly the three centuries from 1500 to 1800 CE, witnessed astonishing changes and developments in philosophy, religion, and all the arts. Boston University is fortunate to have a lively group of faculty researchers pursuing projects arising from this period. In this session, we heard brief accounts of new work on topics including the sense of touch, old age, humanistic prose, instrumental music, women’s poems on war, and the persistence of the Enlightenment in modern thought.
