Call for submissions: Suffering for Salvation, due 1 June 2021

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I have been working on an edited collection called Suffering for Salvation and I would like to invite you to consider submitting one or more chapters. Several authors have expressed interest, but because of a tight deadline, were unable to contribute a chapter. The deadline has therefore been extended to 1 June 2021 in order to ensure quality submissions. The premise of this publication is broad and concerns how users of medieval manuscripts considered images, symbols, or texts having to do with physical or spiritual suffering, internalizing what they viewed/read as a means for salvation.

My name is Dr. Joni Hand and I earned my Ph.D. in art history from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. I am the author of Women, Manuscripts, and Identity in Northern Europe, 1350-1550 (Ashgate, 2013), and Bound for the Midwest (Southeast Missouri State University Press, 2017), and several articles about female patronage and medieval and early modern manuscripts. I am currently Associate Professor of Art History at Southeast Missouri State University.

A Chapter should normally be no longer than 6000 words and should be original and previously unpublished. If the work has already been published (as a journal article, or in conference proceedings, for example), the Publisher will require evidence that permission to be re-published has been granted.
