Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information
Iter, meaning 'a journey' or 'a path' in Latin, is a not-for-profit research project with partners in Toronto (the headquarters), New York City, and Tempe. Iter was created for the advancement of learning in the study and teaching of the Middle Ages and Renaissance (400-1700) through the development of electronic resources.
Iter is a powerful research tool that allows users to:
- Perform keyword and phrase searching and use Boolean, positional and relational operators.
- For selected records published since 1990, search by subject, using Library of Congress subject headings, Dewey Decimal Classification and additional keywords.
- Use hypertext links to perform subsequent searches from results pages.
- Limit searches by language, publication type, and publication date.

- Bibliography of English Women Writers, 1500-1640
|
|
|
|
Bibliography of English Women Writers, 1500-1640, has evolved from an effort to compile a "comprehensive" record of often quaint past scholarship on some 180 known women writers into a still-growing list of scholarship about over 700 recovered writers and located texts, canonical and non-canonical. Identifying many hitherto unknown English women writers, 1500-1640, and including among them not only already familiar figures, but also women refugees such as the recusants, women in the colonies, women translators and English women writers in French, Greek, Latin, Spanish, Gaelic and Welsh, the bibliography functions not only as a listing of mushrooming scholarship, but also as a roster of English women writers, 1500-1640.
Preliminaries consist of bibliographies, background studies (i.e., studies providing extended narrative or analysis), reference works (i.e., compendia of entries), anthologies of essays, special issues of journals, genre studies, handbooks (or pedagogical tools), and anthologies of primary sources. Individual listings, the bulk of the bibliography, begin with a main heading supplying the writer's name and dates, and contain lists of texts (including English Short Title Catalogue numbers or locations of manuscripts), of editions, of anthologies containing parts of texts, of contemporary references (where applicable), of scholarship, and genre notes. "Added entries" supply alternate forms of names and titles; notes provide essential information and acknowledgments to many individual scholars who have kindly responded to the compiler's queries. Travitsky's goal has been "comprehensiveness," except for celebrated authors such as Elizabeth I, for whom the scholarship is limited to studies of their writings.
The electronic format facilitates study of these traditionally hard-to-locate writers and their often scattered works; after the initial mounting of this 1,000+ page resource, it will enable its seamless updating and enhancement.

- Milton: A Bibliography for the Years 1624-1700: Revised and for the Years 1701-1799
|
|
|
|
This bibliography is an extensive revision and continuation of Milton: A Bibliography for the Years 1624-1700, published by Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies (MRTS), Binghamton, New York, in 1984, and it is the only Milton bibliography that covers the eighteenth century. The bibliography tries to bring together all manuscripts and editions of Milton's works and all studies and critical statements concerning Milton's life and works, all allusions and quotations, and all significant imitations during the years 1624-1799. Users can browse by century or year, or perform Boolean, keyword or phrase searches. Cross references within the bibliography are hypertext links, allowing for ease of navigation. Shawcross's work represents an invaluable resource for Milton scholars, and literary, history, and publication scholars of both the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The database contains more than 13,000 records.

- Early Theatre
|
|
|

Early Theatre is a peer-reviewed journal that welcomes research in medieval or early modern drama and theatre history, rooted in the records and documents of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The journal also publishes articles or notes on related materials either in Europe, or in parts of the world where English or European travellers, traders, and colonizers observed performances by other peoples. Although primarily focused on the performance history of any art, entertainment, or festive occasion of the period, Early Theatre also publishes interpretive or literary articles relating to the performances themselves. Each year the journal also features "Issues in Review," a section of related, short essays that together highlight new research directions and shape the field for further study.
Early Theatre succeeds Records of Early English Drama Newsletter (REEDN), published from 1976 to 1997. A subscription to the online edition of Early Theatre includes access to an online edition of the full run of REEDN.

International Directory of Scholars (IDS)
|
|

The International Directory of Scholars (IDS) is the fortunate result of a convergence of interests of the Renaissance Society of America (RSA), who wanted a major revision of its own Directory, and the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference (SCSC), who wanted to transform its highly respected Scholars of Early Modern Studies into an online database. The IDS is a comprehensive resource which accommodates not only the usual directory contact information, but also detailed information on the research and teaching careers of scholars around the world.
Updates: Updated membership information is received from the RSA and the SCSC and uploaded to the IDS regularly.
