How did Scottish romances imagine solutions to sovereignty conflicts from the periphery of Europe? This talk explores the relationship among experimental fiction, premodern visions of the planet, and early global studies.

 

Prof. Manion’s talk builds off his recent book, The Recognition of Sovereignty: Politics of Empire in Early Anglo-Scottish Literature (Cambridge UP, 2025)

 

Light refreshments will be served.  

 

We look forward to seeing you there!
