Bringing the study of early modern Christianity into dialogue with
Atlantic history, this collection provides a longue duree
investigation of women and religion within a transatlantic context.
Taking as its starting point the work of Natalie Zemon Davis on the
effects of confessional difference among women in the age of
religious reformations, the volume expands the focus to broader
temporal and geographic boundaries. The result is a series of
essays examining the effects of religious reform and revival among
women in the wider Atlantic world of Europe, the Americas, and West
Africa from 1550 to 1850. Taken collectively, the essays in this
volume chart the extended impact of confessional divergence on
women over time and space, and uncover a web of transatlantic
religious interaction that significantly enriches our understanding
of the unfolding of the Atlantic World. Divided into three
sections, the volume begins with an exploration of 'Old World
Reforms' looking afresh at the impact of confessional change in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries upon the lives of European
women. Part two takes this forward, tracing the adaptation of
European religious forms within Africa and the Americas. The third
and final section explores the multifarious faces of the revival
that inspired the nineteenth century missionary movement on both
sides of the Atlantic. Collectively the essays underline the extent
to which the development of the Atlantic World created a space
within which an unprecedented series of juxtapositions, collisions,
and collusions among religious traditions and practitioners took
place. These demonstrate how the religious history of Europe, the
Americas, and Africa became intertwined earlier and more deeply
than much scholarship suggests, and highlight the dynamic nature of
transatlantic cross-fertilization and influence.
