Claire Jowitt and John McAleer introduce their new book series Maritime Humanities 1400-1800: Cultures of the Sea

Published: 30 June 2014

Interdisciplinary in its approach, Maritime Humanities 1400-1800: Cultures of the Sea welcomes books from across the full range of humanities subjects, and invites submissions that conceptually engage with issues of globalization, post-colonialism, eco-criticism, environmentalism and the histories of science and technology.

The series 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.
