In recent years many historians have argued that the Reformation
did not - as previously thought - hamper the development of
Northern European visual culture, but rather gave new impetus to
the production, diffusion and reception of visual materials in both
Catholic and Protestant milieus. This book investigates the
crosscurrents of exchange in the realm of illustrated religious
literature within and beyond confessional and national borders, and
against the background of recent insights into the importance of,
on the one hand material, as well as on the other hand, sensual and
emotional aspects of early modern culture. Each chapter in the
volume helps illuminate early modern religious culture from the
perspective of the production of illustrated religious texts - to
see the book as object, a point at which various vectors of early
modern society met. Case studies, together with theoretical
contributions, shed light on the ways in which illustrated
religious books functioned in evolving societies, by analysing the
use, re-use and sharing of illustrated religious texts in England,
France, the Low Countries, the German States, and Switzerland.
Interpretations based on points of material interaction show us how
the most basic binaries of the early modern world - Catholic and
Protestant, word and image, public and private - were disrupted and
negotiated in the realm of the illustrated religious book. Through
this approach, the volume expands the historical appreciation of
the place of imagery in post-Reformation Europe.
