Recent scholarship on medieval Europe has emphasised how mendicants exercised a significant influence on the religiosity of the laity by actually shaping their spirituality and piety. In a similar way for the early modern period, religious orders have been credited with disseminating Tridentine reform, training new clergy, gaining new converts and bringing those who had strayed back into the fold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMuch about this process, however, still remains unknown, particularly with regards to east central Europe. Exploring the complex relationship between western monasticism and lay society in east central Europe across a broad chronological timeframe, this collection provides a re-examination of the level and nature of interaction between members of religious orders and the communities around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat the studies in this collection are all located in east central Europe—Transylvania, Hungary, Austria, and Bohemia—fulfils a second key aim of the volume: the examination of clerical and lay piety in a region of Europe almost entirely ignored by western scholarship. As such, the volume provides an important addition to current scholarship, showcasing fresh research on a subject and region on which little has been published in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCommunities of Devotion\u003c\/em\u003e further contributes to the reintegration of eastern and western European history, expanding the existing parameters of scholarly discourse into late medieval and early modern religious practice and piety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605238300908,"sku":"9780754663126","price":353.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780754663126-communities-of-devotion.jpg?v=1778128640"},{"product_id":"the-making-and-marketing-of-tottels-miscellany-1557-by-j-christopher-warner-9781409457459","title":"The Making and Marketing of Tottel's Miscellany, 1557","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published in the summer of 1557 - as the protestant martyrs’ pyres blazed across England - \u003cem\u003eSonges and Sonettes, written by the ryght honorable Lorde Henry Haward late Earle of Surrey, and other\u003c\/em\u003e (more generally known as \u003cem\u003eTottel’s Miscellany\u003c\/em\u003e) is widely regarded as the first anthology of English poetry responsible for introducing Italianate verse forms to England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYet those scholars who have paid attention to the book usually dismiss its literary quality and regard its chief accomplishment as paving the way for the Golden Age of Elizabethan verse to come. As Professor Warner makes clear, however, there is much more historical significance to the Miscellany than merely being a precursor to Shakespeare and Sidney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing upon a wealth of historical, textual and literary evidence, this new study recasts the Miscellany as a peculiar phenomenon of the reign of Mary I. Placing it in the context of its European counterparts and its competition in the London book market, Warner argues that at heart the Miscellany was a collaborative project between the printer, Richard Tottel, and law students from the Inns of Court, and represented a timely response to the religious, political and social upheavals of the English Reformation and Counter-Reformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnalysing from both a literary and historical perspective, this study reconnects the Miscellany with the social, cultural, literary and religious milieu in which it was created. Warner thus reveals not only the distinctiveness of the book’s design compared to other English verse works for sale in 1557, but its function as a patriotic retort to Continental collections of verse - including one that put into print a selection of satirical songs and sonnets written by the Spanish caballeros who found themselves reluctant attendants at the court of Mary I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608098914540,"sku":"9781409457459","price":353.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781409457459-the-making-and-marketing-of-tottel-s-miscellany-1557.jpg?v=1778183040"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-catholic-christendom-1300-1700.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
