Drawing on the FolgerOs rich collections of 16th- and 17th-century
books, manuscripts, and works of art, Voices for Tolerance in an
Age of Persecution tells the story of the struggle between
tolerance and persecution. It traces the roots of our quest for
liberty of conscience and freedom of expression and explores how
individuals and communities in early modern Europe experienced,
contemplated, and responded to the forces of hate, racism, and
intolerance as their world expanded to include peoples and cultures
radically different from their own. Essays explore many topics
including religious dissent, the protestant and Catholic
reformations in Germany, protestant identity in France, Jews in
early modern Europe, Africans in England and Scotland, Catholics in
Renaissance England, the Puritan revolution, Islam, early modern
Ireland, and print culture. Vincent P. Carey is professor of
history at Plattsburgh State University of New York. Other
contributors include Anna Battigelli, Ronald Bogdan, Karl S.
Bottigheimer, Clare Carroll, Barbara B. Diefendorf, Donna B.
Hamilton, Sujata Iyengar, Ute Lotz-Heutmann, Jyotsna G. Singh,
Clodagh Tait, and Elizabeth A. Walsh."
