Chapters deal with topics as diverse as convent architecture and missionary enterprise, the replicability of print and the representation of race. Bringing together leading scholars of literature, history and art history, Conversions offers new insights into the varied experiences of, and responses to, conversion across and beyond Europe. A lively Afterword by Professor Matthew Dimmock (University of Sussex) drives home the contemporary urgency of these themes and the lasting legacies of the Reformations. Of interest to scholars of early modern history, literature, and architectural history, this collection will appeal to anyone interested in the vexed history of religious change, and the transformations of both masculine and feminine identity. 606 $aSex role$xReligious aspects 606 $aConversion$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xReligion$y17th century 607 $aEurope$xReligion$y16th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSex role$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aConversion$xHistory. 676 $a204.2 702 $aSmith$b Helen$f1977- 702 $aDitchfield$b Simon 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480458203321 996 $aConversions$92453273 997 $aUNINA
