The early modern cluster features cross-departmental interest in intellectual history, religious life, written and visual culture, thought, history of the book, and cultural history. The Cambridge Society for Neo-Latin Studies, of which Professor Philip Ford was a leading figure, provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of topics relating to all aspects of Neo-Latin writing and revolves around term-time seminars and an annual symposium devoted to a particular theme. The cluster is central to the running of the longstanding University early modern research seminar.
