What We PublishRenaissance Quarterly publishes articles in all the fields represented by the RSA. Chronologically, the journal focuses on the period 1300–1700, though we are also interested in studies of the Renaissance's afterlife in a variety of locations and across cultural production. We seek essays that address an interdisciplinary readership and, ideally, offer theoretical and methodological insights across subfields. Articles should locate their arguments within both specific and broader historical contexts and explicitly draw their larger implications. For more information on submitting a manuscript, please consult our Submit to RQ page.
