People And Piety by Elizabeth Clarke, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This international and interdisciplinary volume investigates devotional identities in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. Divided into two sections, the book examines the 'sites' where identities were forged - the academy, printing house, household, theatre and prison - and the 'types' of texts that expressed them - spiritual autobiographies, religious poetry and writings tied to the ars moriendi - providing a broad analysis of social, material and literary forms of devotion in England's Long Reformation. Through archival and cutting-edge research, a detailed picture of 'lived devotion' emerges, covering the devotional acts and attitudes of both well-known and recently discovered figures. To those studying and teaching religion and identity in early modern England, and anyone interested in the history of religious self-expression, this book will be a rich and rewarding read. | People And Piety by Elizabeth Clarke, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
