This significant and innovative collection explores the changing
piety of townspeople and villagers before, during and after the
Reformation. It brings together leading and new scholars from
England and the Netherlands to present new research on a subject of
importance to historians of society and religion in late medieval
and early modern Europe. Contributors examine the diverse evidence
for transitions in piety and the processes of these changes. The
volume incorporates a range of approaches including social,
cultural and religious history, literary and manuscript studies,
social anthropology and archaeology. This is, therefore, an
interdisciplinary volume that constitutes a cultural history of
changing pieties in the period c. 1400-1640. Contributors focus on
a number of specific themes using a range of types of evidence and
theoretical approaches. Some chapters make detailed reconstructions
of specific communities, groups and individuals; some offer
perceptive and useful analyses of theoretical and comparative
approaches to transition and to piety; and others closely examine
cultural practices, ideas and tastes. Through this range of
detailed work, which brings to light previously unknown sources as
well as new approaches to more familiar sources, contributors
address a number of questions arising from recent published work on
late medieval and early modern piety and reformation. Individually
and collectively, the chapters in this volume offer an important
contribution to the field of late medieval and early modern piety.
They highlight, for the first time, the centrality of processes of
transition in the experience and practice of religion. Offering a
refreshingly new approach to the subject, this volume raises timely
theoretical and methodological questions that will be of interest
to a broad audience.
