Tom Pettitt (also known to bibliographers as Thomas), is an English (now also Danish) cultural historian who has been associated with the University of Southern Denmark throughout his career, latterly as an affiliate research professor at the Cultural Sciences Institute (IKV). His research is devoted to English (and related European) vernacular traditions -- customs (carnival; charivari; folk drama), songs (including ballads), and narratives (rumour, legends; wondertales) – focussing particularly on the late-medieval and immediately post-medieval periods, but alert to their persistence, as folk traditions, more recently. Wider perspectives include their relationships with literature, theatre, and popular culture (not least cheap print), and (following the closing of the 'Gutenberg Parenthesis') affinities with digital and internet culture.
Jeroen Salman (j.salman@uu.nl) is a senior researcher at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands.

In 2014 he published a monograph about the itinerant book trade entitled Pedlars and the popular press. Itinerant distribution networks in England and the Netherlands (1600-1850) (2014). He has been a visiting professor at the University of Milan and held fellowships from the Netherlands Institute of Advanced Studies and the John Ryland Research Institute in Manchester. From 2016-2018 he led the project ‘The European dimensions of popular print culture’ (EDPOP) that aimed to facilitate and stimulate innovative research on European popular print culture. He recently co-edited the book Crossing Borders, Crossing Cultures. Popular Print in Europe (1450–1900) (2019). Dr Salman is an affiliated member of the Utrecht Centre for Digital Humanities, a member of the ‘Descartes Centre’ and co-editor of a Dutch historical book series (BGNB).

Matthew Laube is Assistant Professor of Music at Baylor University. Between 2014 and 2022, he held postdoctoral positions at The British Library, the University of Cambridge, the Université libre de Bruxelles, and Birkbeck, University of London. His research focuses on the place of music – and sound more generally – in the religious and political upheavals of northern Europe 1450–1650. Matthew is currently working on two projects. He is writing a monograph on music and social identity in Reformation Heidelberg, and is researching the intersections of Reformation church music and sensory history with cultures of violence, war and social unrest during the Dutch Revolt. Since 2018, he has been Assistant Editor and Reviews Editor of the journal Early Music History.
