Early Modern Nordic and Baltic Cultures provides a high-quality home for scholarship on a deeply interconnected region. Trade, migration, cultural expressions, political rivalry, confessional transformation, learned networks, and multilingual print cultures all underwent continuous exchange around the Baltic Sea’s northern and eastern shores, while also producing distinctive local cultures. Recent research explicitly calls for transnational and multidisciplinary approaches to deepen our understanding of these early modern processes.

This series answers that call by bringing together works from history, literary studies, art history, religious studies, cultural studies, and related disciplines, highlighting the linked nature of the region and its entanglements with Central Europe, the wider Baltic world, and global networks. The series welcomes interdisciplinary monographs and edited volumes on cross-border interactions and comparative themes, as well as outstanding studies of individual countries, regions, polities, or communities. It contributes to broader debates about mobility, identity, knowledge circulation, governance, and cultural change in the early modern world.
