A specialist in the study of the Renaissance is sought by Facts on File to
write a 170,000-word book on the subject geared toward students in
high school and college. The audience also will include scholars,
teachers, librarians, journalists, and general readers, so the book
needs to be authoritative as well as accessible to a wide range of
readers. The book is part of the publisher's "Handbook to Life in"
series; already-published books include the "Handbook to Life in
Ancient Greece" and the "Handbook to Life in Ancient Mesopotamia."

The candidate should have a PhD in the history or art
(or related field) of the period. Excellent English-language skills
and the ability to meet deadlines also are essential. Affiliation with
a college or university, museum, or institute is preferred, as are at
least some publications in the field. Residence in the United States,
Canada, or the UK is preferred but not essential. The book also
could be written by two or three individuals.

The author will receive a royalty contract.

Interested individuals should email (or mail) a c.v. and one or two
short writing samples to:
