"Remembering The Reformation | History

This stimulating volume explores how the memory of the Reformation has been remembered forgotten contested and reinvented between the sixteenth and twenty-first centuries. Remembering the Reformation traces how a complex protracted and unpredictable process came to be perceived recorded and commemorated as a transformative event. Exploring both local and global patterns of memory the contributors examine the ways in which the Reformation embedded itself in the historical imagination and analyse the enduring unstable and divided legacies that it engendered. The book also underlines how modern scholarship is indebted to processes of memory-making initiated in the early modern period and challenges the conventional models of periodisation that the Reformation itself helped to create. This collection of essays offers an expansive examination and theoretically engaged discussion of concepts and practices of memory and Reformation. This volume is ideal for upper level undergraduates and postgraduates studying the Reformation Early Modern Religious History Early Modern European History and Early Modern Literature.|Remembering the Reformation | History
