The significant changes in early modern German marriage practices
included many unions that violated some taboo. That taboo could be
theological and involve the marriage of monks and nuns, or refer to
social misalliances as when commoners and princes (or princesses)
wed. Equally transgressive were unions that crossed religious
boundaries, such as marriages between Catholics and Protestants,
those that violated ethnic or racial barriers, and those that broke
kin-related rules. Taking as a point of departure Martin Luther's
redefinition of marriage, the contributors to this volume spin out
the multiple ways that the Reformers' attempts to simplify and
clarify marriage affected education, philosophy, literature, high
politics, diplomacy, and law. Ranging from the Reformation, through
the ages of confessionalization, to the Enlightenment, Mixed
Matches addresses the historical complexity of the socio-cultural
institution of marriage.
