Expanded chronologies, cross-confessional empathy, and Irish history in a European and global perspective. Some of the many themes from last night's wonderful celebration of Dr. Joan Redmond's new book, Religion, Rebellion and Violence in Ireland, c. 1603-1649. Thanks to those who came along!

The winner of the article prize is 🥁 🥁 🥁 Jessica Maratsos!! For her article ‘From Asia to Iberia: The Mobility of #EarlyModern Reliquaries’. Congratulations Jessica! We award this prize annually to the best article that appeared in Renaissance Studies. rensoc.org.uk/renaissance-...
The Renaissance Studies article prize 2026 has been awarded to Jessica Maratsos for ‘From Asia to Iberia: The Mobility of Early Modern Reliquaries', Vol. 39 No. 5, pages 547-64, November 2025. DOI 10.1111/rest.12969

Exceptional for its geographical, linguistic, and methodological breadth, this article impressed for its ability to capture the many different mutations that these reliquaries undertook in the course of global movement. With clear and precise prose, Maratsos shows at many scales the way that meaning was generated, disputed, and again re-formed across the early modern period. Challenging and enlightening at once, it resonates with many of the themes that drive current Renaissance scholarship. Amidst a very strong field of scholarship, the Article Prize Committee were unanimous in awarding this year's prize.
