Scholars increasingly recognise that understanding the history of
religion means understanding worship and devotion as well as
doctrines and polemics. Early modern Christianity consisted of its
lived experience. This collection and its companion volume (Worship
and the Parish Church in Early Modern Britain, ed. Natalie Mears
and Alec Ryrie) bring together an interdisciplinary range of
scholars to discuss what that lived experience comprised, and what
it meant. Private and domestic devotion - how early modern men and
women practised their religion when they were not in church - is a
vital and largely hidden subject. Here, historical, literary and
theological scholars examine piety of conformist, non-conformist
and Catholic early modern Christians, in a range of private and
domestic settings, in both England and Scotland. The subjects under
analysis include Bible-reading, the composition of prayers, the use
of the psalms, the use of physical props for prayers, the pious
interpretation of dreams, and the troubling question of what
counted as religious solitude. The collection as a whole broadens
and deepens our understanding of the patterns of early modern
devotion, and of their meanings for early modern culture as a
whole.
