Founded in 2000 by David Siar and Crystal Bartolovich, Early Modern Culture strives to create something like the active and on-going inquiry of a good seminar. Hence, the journal publishes works-in-progress by major scholars in early modern studies, along with a set of responses from readers.
Tigerprints hosts volumes ten through fourteen. Issues one through nine are located at Earlymodernculture.org.
As of 2019, Early Modern Culture is no longer accepting submissions.
