This volume takes as its theme the devotional cultures of European
Christianity, from the dawn of the French Revolution to that later
revolution which was the Second Vatican Council. At one level, it
deals with what might be called, in devotional terms, a 'long
nineteenth century.' The collection is divided into three parts.
The first is composed of five essays that explore the theme of
spiritual and devotional renewal in Norway, Ireland, Italy, and
France. The second part examines questions pertaining to devotional
culture in the arts, with specific studies related to aspects of
sacred music, iconography, and architecture. The final part
addresses the use of devotional instruments - respectively, hymnody
and religious emblems - to identify individuals and groups over and
against a specified 'other, ' whether that 'other' be in 1850s
England, 1930s Spain, or 1970s Belfast. Many of the contributions
were first presented as papers at a five-day workshop for the
European Network on the Instruments of Devotion (ENID), held at St.
Patrick's College, Thurles, Ireland, which culminated in an
international conference on "The Material Culture of Catholic
Devotion, c.1850-c.1950" in January 2008. *** .."..well-researched
and stimulating collection of scholarly essays on European
devotional currents that will be of interest to scholars and
students alike." - Catholic Historical Review, July 201
