Christianity and Sexuality in the Early Modern World surveys the
ways in which people from the time of Luther and Columbus to that
of Thomas Jefferson used Christian ideas and institutions to
regulate and shape sexual norms and conduct, and examines the
impact of their efforts. Global in scope and geographic in
organization, the book contains chapters on Protestant, Catholic,
and Orthodox Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa and
Asia, and North America. It explores key topics, including marriage
and divorce, fornication and illegitimacy, clerical sexuality,
same-sex relations, witchcraft and love magic, moral crimes, and
interracial relationships. The book sets its findings within the
context of many historical fields, including the history of gender
and sexuality, and of colonialism and race. Each chapter in this
third edition has been updated to reflect new scholarship,
particularly on the actual lived experience of people around the
world. This has resulted in expanded coverage of nearly every
issue, including notions of the body and of honor, gendered
religious symbols, religious and racial intermarriage, sexual and
gender fluidity, the process of conversion, the interweaving of
racial identity and religious ideologies, and the role of
Indigenous and enslaved people in shaping Christian traditions and
practices. It is ideal for students of the history of sexuality,
early modern Christianity, and early modern gender.
How did gender figure in understandings of spatial realms, from the
inner spaces of the body to the furthest reaches of the globe? How
did women situate themselves in the early modern world, and how did
they move through it, in both real and imaginary locations? How do
new disciplinary and geographic connections shape the ways we think
about the early modern world, and the role of women and men in it?
These are the questions that guide this volume, which includes
articles by a select group of scholars from many disciplines: Art
History, Comparative Literature, English, German, History,
Landscape Architecture, Music, and Women's Studies. Each essay
reaches across fields, and several are written by interdisciplinary
groups of authors. The essays also focus on many different places,
including Rome, Amsterdam, London, and Paris, and on texts and
images that crossed the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, or that
portrayed real and imagined people who did. Many essays investigate
topics key to the 'spatial turn' in various disciplines, such as
borders and their permeability, actual and metaphorical spatial
crossings, travel and displacement, and the built environment.

A Primer for Teaching Women, Gender, and Sexuality in World History
is a guide for college and high school teachers who are teaching
women, gender, and sexuality in history for the first time, for
experienced teachers who want to reinvigorate their courses, for
those who are training future teachers to prepare their own
syllabi, and for teachers who want to incorporate these issues into
their world history classes. Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks and Urmi
Engineer Willoughby present possible course topics, themes,
concepts, and approaches while offering practical advice on
materials and strategies helpful for teaching courses from a global
perspective in today's teaching environment for today's students.
In their discussions of pedagogy, syllabus organization, fostering
students' historical empathy, and connecting students with their
community, Wiesner-Hanks and Willoughby draw readers into the
process of strategically designing courses that will enable
students to analyze gender and sexuality in history, whether their
students are new to this process or hold powerful and personal
commitments to the issues it raises.
An intensive introduction to global social history themes, covering
early societies to the 20th century Covering early societies, the
classical, postclassical, and modern periods, and the 20th century,
and blending the great advances in historical research over the
past quarter century, Experiencing World History represents an
important addition to the teaching of world history. Focusing on
major issues in social history in the context of world history and
divided into five chronological sections that highlight the mixture
of change and continuity, the volume traces key aspects of society
over time, among them gender; work and leisure; state and society;
culture contact and population patterns. Truly global in scope,
Experiencing World History includes deep coverage of all the major
areas including Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. A brief
introduction ties the social history themes to more conventional
world history coverage, and an epilogue after each of the five
sections suggests overarching themes and connections.
Covering European history from the invention of the printing press
to the French Revolution, the third edition of this best-selling
textbook is thoroughly updated with new scholarship and an emphasis
on environmental history, travel and migration, race and cultural
blending, and the circulation of goods and knowledge. Summaries,
timelines, maps, illustrations, and discussion questions illuminate
the narrative and support the student. Enhanced online content and
sections on sources and methodology give students the tools they
need to study early modern European history. Leading historian
Merry Wiesner-Hanks skillfully balances breadth and depth of
coverage to create a strong narrative, paying particular attention
to the global context of European developments. She integrates
discussion of gender, class, regional, and ethnic differences
across the entirety of Europe and its overseas colonies as well as
the economic, political, religious, and cultural history of the
period.

This fourth edition of Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks's prize-winning
survey features significant changes to every chapter, designed to
reflect the newest scholarship. Global issues have been threaded
throughout the book, while still preserving the clear thematic
structure of previous editions. Thus readers will find expanded
discussions of gendered racial hierarchies, migration,
missionaries, and consumer goods. In addition, there is enhanced
coverage of recent theoretical directions; the ideas, beliefs, and
practices of ordinary people; early industrialization; women's
learning, letter writing, and artistic activities; emotions and
sentiments; single women and same-sex relations; masculinities;
mixed-race and enslaved women; and the life course from birth to
death. With geographically broad coverage, including Russia,
Scandinavia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Iberian Peninsula, this
remains the leading text on women and gender in Europe in this
period. Accompanying this essential reading is a completely revised
website featuring extensive updated bibliographies, web links, and
primary source material.
