This volume considers women's roles in the conflicts and
negotiations of the early modern world. Essays explore the ways
that gender shapes women's agency in times of war, religious
strife, and economic change. How were conflict and concord gendered
in histories, literature, music, and political, legal, didactic,
and religious treatises? Four interdisciplinary plenary topics
ground this exploration: Negotiations, Economies, Faiths &
Spiritualities, and Pedagogies. Scholars focus upon many regions of
the early modern world--the Atlantic world, the Mediterranean
world, Granada, Indonesia, the Low Countries, England, and
Italy--inflected by such religions as Islam, Catholicism, and
Reformed Protestantism, as they came into contact with indigenous
spiritualities and with one another. Essays and workshop summaries
analyze how gender and class are implicated in economic change and
assess the ways gender and religion map onto voyages of trade,
exploration, or imperialism. They investigate how women, as
individuals and as members of political or family networks, were
instrumental in transmitting, promoting, supporting, or thwarting
different religions during times of religious crises. This volume
also offers methods for teaching and researching these topics. It
will be invaluable to scholars of medieval and early modern women's
studies, especially those working in history, literature,
languages, musicology, and religious studies.
