Religious Diaspora in Early Modern Europe cover

This collection of essays looks at the shared experience of exile across different groups in the early modern period. Contributors argue that exile is a useful analytical tool in the study of a wide variety of peoples previously examined in isolation.

'[This book] is indicative of the strength of exile as a lens through which to view the early modern period and illustrates well the benefits of further research along these lines.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'This religiously comparative, transnational, and interdisciplinary collection offers excellent examples of the way that decentering political institutions and following people across boundaries enriches our understanding of early modern life.' American Historical Review 'Offers an incredibly rich and diverse portrait of religious exile across early modern Europe, from Emden to Istanbul. This is a highly valuable and welcome contribution to the religious history of the early modern period and to the study of diasporas before the rise of the modern nation state.' Matthias B Lehmann, University of California, Irvine 'The contents represent a range of disciplines beyond history ... the volume is due something more than faint praise.' The Journal of Interdisciplinary History 'Future studies that seek to identify common patterns among early modern exiles will find this book both rewarding and inspiring.' Renaissance Quarterly
