The 28th International Conference of the Spanish and Portuguese Society for English Renaissance Studies (SEDERI) will be held in Pontevedra (Spain) on 3-5 May 2017. The conference theme is “Transcultural Bridges: Seas, Towns and Texts in Early Modern England”. As metaphorical bridges, seas, urban areas and texts have frequently functioned as environments in which different cultures, social classes, genders and races have interacted in significant ways. The conference will focus on transtextual and transcultural negotiations in English texts of the 16th and 17th centuries and their afterlives.
