Abstract
This introductory chapter provides a brief overview of the book The Reach of the Republic of Letters: Literary and Learned Societies in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe (2 vols.) and its chapters. The book is the result of two workshops aimed at the discussion of the differences and resemblances between several regional types of literary and learned associations in early modern and late medieval Europe, and their possible interplay. It aims at bridging the gap in the study of literary and learned societies that exists between the perspectives of the history of science, literature, music, and the visual arts, and social and cultural history. These disciplines all study (aspects of ) literary and learned societies for different reasons and from different angles. Keywords: cultural history; early modern Europe; late medieval Europe; learned societies; literary
