This book examines the practice of toleration and the experience of
religious diversity in the early modern world. Recent scholarship
has shown the myriad ways in which religious differences were
accommodated in the early modern era (1500–1800). This book
propels this revisionist wave further by linking the accommodation
of religious diversity in early modern communities to the
experience of this diversity by individuals. It does so by studying
the forms and patterns of interaction between members of different
religious groups, including Christian denominations, Muslims, and
Jews, in territories ranging from Europe to the Americas and
South-East Asia. This book is structured around five key concepts:
the senses, identities, boundaries, interaction, and space. For
each concept, the book provides chapters based on new, original
research plus an introduction that situates the chapters in their
historiographic context. Early Modern Toleration: New Approaches is
aimed primarily at undergraduate and postgraduate students, to whom
it offers an accessible introduction to the study of religious
toleration in the early modern era. Additionally, scholars will
find cutting-edge contributions to the field in the book’s
chapters.
