Cultural Exchange in Early Modern Europe cover

This volume, first published in 2007, examines the role of religion as a vehicle for cultural exchange.

Religious beliefs were fundamental to the cultural fabric of early modern Europe. This volume, first published in 2007, examines the role of religion as a vehicle for cultural exchange with case studies ranging across Europe. It will appeal to scholars in early modern European history, history of religion, and social and cultural history.Religious beliefs, their practice and expression, were fundamental to the cultural fabric of early modern Europe. They were representations of belonging, identity, power and social meaning. In the era of Europe's reformations and subsequent confessionalizations coinciding with its first colonial empires and its conflictual relations with other faiths on its eastern borderlands, this volume, first published in 2007, examines the role of religion as a vehicle for cultural conflict, cohabitation and cultural exchange. Essays by leading historians show the complexity and diversity of the processes of religious differentiation that contributed to the making of modern Europe, with case studies ranging from Transylvania and Lithuania to Spain and Portugal and from Italy to England. The volume will appeal to scholars in early modern European history, history of religion, as well as social and cultural history.

"This volume is one of four in a larger series on cultural exchange in early modern Europe, but this one on its own is well worth reading, for well-informed general readers, graduate students, and scholars in the field." -Karin Maag, The Historian
