The apparent disappearance of mysticism in the Protestant world
after the Reformation used to be taken as an example of the arrival
of modernity. However, as recent studies in history and literary
history reveal, the "Reformation" was not experienced in such a
drastically transformative manner, not least because the later
Middle Ages itself was marked by a series of reform movements
within the Catholic Church in which mysticism played a central
role. In Mysticism and Reform, 1400-1750, contributors show that it
is more accurate to characterize the history of early modern
mysticism as one in which relationships of continuity within
transformations occurred. Rather than focus on the departures of
the sixteenth-century Reformation from medieval traditions, the
essays in this volume explore one of the most remarkable yet still
under-studied chapters in its history: the survival and
transformation of mysticism between the late Middle Ages and the
early modern period. With a focus on central and northern Europe,
the essays engage such subjects as the relationship of Luther to
mystical writing, the visual representation of mystical experience
in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century art, mystical sermons by
religious women of the Low Countries, Valentin Weigel's recasting
of Eckhartian gelassenheit for a Lutheran audience, and the
mysticism of English figures such as Gertrude More, Jane Lead,
Elizabeth Hooten, and John Austin, the German Catharina Regina von
Greiffenberg, and the German American Marie Christine Sauer.
