Though the paradigm of modernist progression has been challenged on
many fronts, Erasmus and other sixteenth-century figures are still
commonly viewed as people who led the transition from a religious
Middle Ages to a more godless modern era. Erasmus, Contarini and
the Religious Republic of Letters, published in 2005, complicates
this transition by analysing a unique realm of spiritualised
scholarship that cannot fit easily into any conventional
intellectual chronology. By analysing the lives, work, and
correspondence of Erasmus, Thomas More, Margaret More Roper,
Reginald Pole, Gasparo Contarini, and Vittoria Colonna, this book
demonstrates how these Catholic men and women of letters created a
distinctive kind of religious community rooted in friendship and
spiritualised scholarship. By spanning the too frequently respected
gap between humanist reformers in northern and southern Europe, the
book uncovers a widespread, if previously less visible, network
that exhibited concerns we still grapple with today.
