In response to the dominance of Latin as the language of intellectual debate in early modern Europe, regional centers started to develop a new emphasis on vernacular languages and forms of cultural expression. This book shows that the local acts as a mark of distinction in the early modern cultural context. Interdisciplinary in scope, essays examine vernacular strands in the visual arts, architecture and literature from the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries. Contributions focus on change, rather than consistencies, by highlighting the transformative force of the vernacular over time and over different regions, as well as the way the concept of the vernacular itself shifts depending on the historical context.

‘’This book will be of use to scholars and students with an interest in the Northern Renaissance but also in the history and art history of early modern Europe. Although the essays cover a wide and very disparate area, this volume further encourages scholars to consider what interdisciplinary studies can encompass and how images can be studied alongside texts.’’

‘’This high quality anthology stimulates fresh thought about relations both within across art forms, particularly as cultural practices. Both editors deserve high praise for assembling these essays and for their own analysis. Despite its diversity of topics, the volume successfully coheres, opening up issues relevant to all humanist readers of this journal in its provocative ensemble’’.

‘’This is a rich collection in terms not only of the approaches taken and the questions asked, but also the variety of artistic forms and cultural expressions examined, from literature and the visual and plastic arts, to vernacular poetry, landscapes, music, and even oral culture. Overall, it contains tightly argued papers and a number of significant and original insights’’.
