Deadline: Aug 14, 2015

Dear Colleagues,

Below is a call for papers for a forthcoming anthology to be submitted
for publication to Cambridge Scholars Publishing, UK.

Title: "Collecting, Conserving, Documenting, and Exhibiting Early Modern Art in the Southern United States"

Summary: The art collections of the Southern United States contain
rich and representative holdings of Renaissance and Baroque art. This
anthology considers how these objects were acquired by prominent public
and private collections, how they have been curated and displayed in
exhibitions, and how they have also been preserved historically.
Papers can address a variety of media that include painting, drawing,
printmaking, sculpture, illustrated books/manuscripts and ephemera from
all world cultures representative of the early modern period (within
ca. 1450-1700). Essays dealing with the formation of
college/university collections are of great interest. Also welcome are
case studies of specific works of art, collections, and/or collectors
within the broad geographic scope of the U.S. South (inclusive of the
District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia,
Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas).

Submission process: Please send a 500 word abstract and CV to
estevezl@wssu.edu by Friday, August 14, 2015. Once selected, abstracts
will be submitted as part of a book proposal to Cambridge Scholars
Publishing, UK. Please also contact me by email with any questions.

Thank you,

Lisandra Estevez
