Religion and the Early Modern British Marketplace explores the
complex intersection between the geographic, material, and
ideological marketplaces through the lens of religious belief and
practice. By examining the religiously motivated markets and
marketplace practices in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in
England, Scotland, and Wales, the volume presents religious praxis
as a driving force in the formulation and everyday workings of the
social and economic markets. Within the volume, the authors address
first spiritual markets and marketplaces, discussing the
intersection of Puritan and Protestant Ethics with the market
economy. The second part addresses material marketplaces, including
the marriage market, commercial trade markets, and the
post-Reformation Catholic black market. In the third part of the
volume, the chapters focus specifically on publication markets and
books, including manuscripts and commonplace books, as well as
printed volumes and pamphlets. Finally, the volume concludes with
an examination of the literary marketplace, with analyses of plays
and poems which engage with and depict both spiritual and material
markets. Taken as a whole, this collection posits that the "modern"
conception of a division between religion and the socioeconomic
marketplace was a largely fictional construct, and the chapters
demonstrate the depth to which both were integrated in early modern
life.
