Ivsvvcrivvs ix Ecoxoxic .x Soci.i Iisrov Dear Reader,
I hope you are as excited as we are by some of the new titles we have
on offer in this catalogue. Our monograph series Religious Cultures
in the Early Modern World (pp. 35) in particular has plenty to offer
the early modern scholar. We also have a new related series Pickering
Studies in Philosophy of Religion (p. 9) which has two new works
which focus on natural theology and the infuence of the Cambridge
Platonists respectively. Meanwhile our well-established series
Political and Popular Culture in the Early Modern Period (pp. 67)
is set to shed new light on various aspects of Jacobitism through two
innovative new essay collections.
Empire also remains a strong theme, not only through our monograph
series Empires in Perspective (pp. 910) but also through two ground-
breaking major works collections of primary texts (p. 13). The Early
English Caribbean, 15701700 charts the nations fascination and
growing involvement in one of the key areas of empire and colonialism
during the early modern period. Jews in the Americas, 16211826
brings together both print and manuscript sources to chart the
involvement of one of the most infuential non-Christian communities
in the development of the colonial period and beyond, focusing on
issues of race, assimilation and slavery and including texts translated
from Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese and Hebrew. Both these collections
are likely to be invaluable to anyone studying these regions or indeed
the evolution of society during this key period.
Whatever your area of research I am sure that you will fnd something
of value in these pages. I would also be delighted to hear from you
with any suggestions for new works to add to our ever-growing list.

Indulgences after Luther:
Pardons in Counter-Reformation France,
15201720
Elizabeth C Tingle
Indulgences have been synonymous
with corruption in the Catholic church
ever since Martin Luther nailed his
ninety-fve theses to the church door
in Wittenberg in 1517. Despite Luthers
work towards reform and the advent of
the Protestant church, by 1700 the sale
of indulgences was still being widely
practiced all over Europe. Tingle
explores the nature and evolution
of indulgences in the Counter
Reformation and how they were used
as a powerful tool of personal and
institutional reform.

Exile and Religious Identity,
15001800
Editors: Jesse Spohnholz and
Gary Waite
Exile was a central feature of society
throughout the early modern world.
Political and religious disputes meant
hundreds of thousands of people
directly experienced exile either as
a victim, a perpetrator or as a host
to refugees. The contributors to
this volume see exile as a critical
framework for analysing and
understanding the period, showing
how the experience of exile had
a profound effect on the way that
individuals understood themselves
and the world around them.

Female Piety and the Catholic
Reformation in France
Jennifer Hillman
Hillman presents a fascinating account
of the role that women played during
the Catholic Reformation in France.
Using probate inventories from
aristocratic residences and private
correspondence, she reconstructs
the devotional practices of a network
of powerful women showing how
they reconciled Catholic piety with
their roles as part of an aristocratic
elite. This challenges the view that
the Catholic Reformation was an
exclusively male concern. It will be
of interest to those researching the
history of early modern devotional
culture, the Catholic/Counter
Reformation and early modern
European elites.

Images of Islam, 14531600:
Turks in Germany and Central Europe
Charlotte Colding Smith
Using evidence from contemporary
printed images, Smith examines
the attitudes of Christian Europe to
the Ottoman empire and to Islam.
Conficting feelings of fascination and
fear among individuals refect wider
societal issues within the changing
social, political and religious climate of
central Europe. Smith also considers
the relationship between text and
image, placing it in the cultural context
of the Reformation and beyond.

Jews and the Renaissance
of Synagogue Architecture,
14501730
Barry L Stiefel
With the socio-political changes
that occurred during the course of
the early modern period, synagogue
architecture experienced a renaissance
of design a phenomenon refected
in the wider tolerance of Jews
themselves. Stiefel examines the
relationships between Jews and
gentiles, and between separate
Jewish groups, as well as looking
at the growth of urbanization and
globalization. In doing so he presents
a study of the material culture and
religious architecture that this era
produced.

Jourden Travis Moger
Mogers study explores the personal
experience of those who found
themselves on the losing side of
the Reformation. Using the private

Celestial Wonders in
Reformation Germany
Ken Kurihara
Celestial phenomena were often
harnessed for use by clerics in early
modern Germany. As Protestantism
took hold, there was a desire among
many infuential theologians to
underline the need for doctrinal
acceptance. Divine omens or signs of
apocalyptic warning were a useful way
to encourage obedience and respect for
clerical authority. Kurihara examines
how and why interest in these events
grew in this period, how the clergy
exploited these beliefs and the role of
sectarianism in Germany at this time.
Kuriharas work is wondrous for
its deep research and thoughtful
integration of Protestant theology and
piety with popular beliefs in celestial
marvels and apocalyptic imagery.
Historians will fnd this book a treasure
trove of new research possibilities.

Anglo-German Relations
and the Protestant Cause:
Elizabethan Foreign Policy and Pan-
Protestantism
David Scott Gehring
Challenging accepted notions of
Elizabethan foreign policy, Gehring
argues that the Queens relationship
with the Protestant Princes of the Holy
Roman Empire was more of a success
than has been previously thought.
Based on extensive archival research,
he contends that the enthusiastic
and continual correspondence and
diplomatic engagement between
Elizabeth and these Protestant allies
demonstrate a deeply held sympathy
between the English Church and State
and those of Germany and Denmark.

John Bale and Religious
Conversion in Reformation
England
Oliver Wort
Evangelical Christian, John Bale
(14851563) wrote several accounts of
his religious conversion over a twenty-
year period. Through a scrupulous
examination of these published and
unpublished works, Wort reinterprets
Bales conversion as a gradual
metamorphosis. He uses this case
study to establish a new set of critical
perspectives on the subject of religious
conversion and so offers a novel
way of thinking about the English
Reformation.
The subtlest and most persuasive book
yet to appear on religious conversion
in early Reformation England and the
best book on John Bale a triumph of
scholarship, and essential reading for
anyone working in the period.

Religious Space in
Reformation England:
Contesting the Past
Susan Guinn-Chipman
Focusing on devotional spaces in the
counties of Wiltshire and Cheshire,
Guinn-Chipman looks at how local
communities adapted to the effects
of religious reform, placing particular
emphasis on the responses of those
who were resistant to change. She
argues for the development of a
national identity created from
memories of suppressed religious
space alongside the formation of a
historicized sense of the past following
the Civil War.
Focusing on conservatives and
moderates in their local settings, this
original study sheds new light on the
fragmentation of the cultural landscape
and the construction of the past in
early modern England. Beat Kmin,

The Laudians and the

History, Conformity and Religious

Calvin Lane
Notions of religious conformity
in England were redefned during
the mid-seventeenth century. Lane
considers how a select group of
churchmen the Laudians reshaped
the meaning of church conformity
during a period of religious and
political turmoil. He emphasizes
the Laudians use of history in their
arguments, particularly their creative
appeal to common sensibilities about
the reign of Elizabeth I as a Golden
Age.

Laura Sangha
Sangha looks at how the Church

new and evolving doctrine. Because
they were theologically adaptable,
angels were recruited by clergymen
of all denominations to support their
particular dogma. Sangha examines
these various stances and applies
the role of angel-belief further, to
issues of wider cultural and political
signifcance.

Monstrous Births and Visual
Culture in Sixteenth-Century

Jennifer Spinks
Physically deformed children and
animals were a source of fascination
and fear in early modern Europe. This
study is an examination of printed
representations of monstrous births
in German-speaking Europe from
the end of the ffteenth and through
the sixteenth century. These births
were of particular importance in
German-speaking areas that were
caught up in the religious conficts of
the Reformation and early Counter-
Reformation.
Well researched and with thoughtful
use of primary sources, this book is a

The Musical Iconography
of Power in Seventeenth-
Century Spain and Her
Territories
Sara Gonzalez
As Spain encountered economic and
political crises in the seventeenth
century, the imagery of musical
performance was invoked by the state
to represent the power of the monarch
and to denote harmony throughout
the kingdom. Gonzalez demonstrates
that the success of this scheme lies in
the long history of Western cultural
usage of musical iconography, in
which musical symbols were allied
to good governance. Based on the
study of a wide range of contemporary
sources, Gonzalez is able to unravel
the complex iconography of Spanish
politics during a fascinating yet
turbulent period.

The Politics of Disclosure,

Rebecca Bullard
Secret histories promised their readers
previously undiscovered intelligence
about the covert actions and hidden
motives of public fgures. In an era
of absolute rule, secret histories
shattered the aura of mystery which
surrounded the powerful elite.
Bullard argues that their rhetorical
peculiarities must be understood
in the light of contemporary party
politics.
Bullard effectively embeds the secret
histories in the broader political
anxieties and ambitions of groups of
infuential men, and her attention to
rhetoric is unusual and a considerable

Siobhan Talbott
Using untapped archival sources
from Britain, France and America,
Talbott presents a comparative view
of Scottish relations with France over
the long seventeenth century. Contrary
to the accepted view, she argues that
the Scottish-French alliance continued
undiminished following the 1560
Treaty of Edinburgh and the British
Unions of 1603 and 1707. Finally,
Talbott situates the Franco-Scottish
relationship within the broader British
and European economic and political
climate of the time.

Markets and Growth in Early
Modern Europe
Victoria N Bateman
This is the frst study to analyze a
wide spread of price data to determine
whether market development led to
economic growth in the early modern
period. Bateman compares agricultural
data with less abundant information
on cloth, candles and olive oil from
numerous European cities. Using a
range of economic measures applied
to a larger set of goods, she shows that
market development occurred earlier
than was previously believed.

Crime and Community in
Reformation Scotland:
Negotiating Power in a Burgh Society
J R D Falconer
Based on church and state records
from the burgh of Aberdeen, this
study explores the deeper social
meaning behind petty crime during
the Reformation. Falconer argues that
an analysis of both criminal behaviour
and law enforcement provides a
unique view into the workings of
an early modern urban Scottish
community. Examining the motivation
behind these acts of violence reveals
power struggles, social and familial
hierarchies and the concept of
belonging.
This fne book will change the way
scholars think about governance
and neighbourliness in early modern
Scotland. It should be required
reading for all scholars and students
interested in the social order of early
modern Britain. Steve Hindle, The

colonies across Europe, assessing their
function, legal status, interaction with

using the discoveries of the natural

Eighteenth-Century Dissent
and Cambridge Platonism
Louise Hickman
Hickman traces the infuence that
seventeenth-century Cambridge
Platonists had on eighteenth-century
radicalism. She shows how Platonist
ideas passed from lesser known
nonconformists through to more
infuential fgures such as Mary
Wollstonecraft. This new perspective
on the development of natural
theology not only challenges the
accepted view of the Enlightenment as
a period of rationalization, liberalism
and increasing secularization, but also
has important implications for current
debates in the philosophy of religion.

Sex, Identity and
Hermaphrodites in Iberia,
15001800
Richard Cleminson and
Francisco Vzquez Garca
Early modern European thought held
that men and women were essentially
the same, with social forces creating
their differences. Such a view made
the existence of hermaphrodites easy
to accept. During the seventeenth
century, medical and legal arguments
began to turn against this one-sex
model, with hermaphroditism seen
as a medieval superstition. This
book traces this change in Iberia in
comparison to the earlier shift in
thought in northern Europe, and with
concurrent ideas in Latin America.

examines over 160 Latin texts from
Europe and America to challenge
medical conceptions of old age during
the early modern period.
The strength of this book is in its
impressive synthesis of a very broad
topic and here it makes a very valuable

Debt and Slavery in the
Mediterranean and Atlantic
Worlds
Editors: Gwyn Campbell and
Alessandro Stanziani
Slavery casts a long shadow over
human history. Though, historically,
the chief mechanism of slavery was
seen as violent abduction, this view
is being adjusted to recognize the
importance of fnancial indebtedness
in creating and sustaining human
bondage. Filling a signifcant gap in
the historiography, the essays in this
volume show that debt slavery has
played a crucial role in the economic
history of numerous societies which
continues even today.
All the essays are based upon extensive
primary and secondary research, are
clearly presented, and are quite useful
additions to understanding the historical
meaning of slavery, serfdom, pawnship,
and different forms of coerced labor.

Middle-Class Writing in Late
Medieval London
Malcolm Richardson
Richardson explores how a powerful
culture of writing was created in late
medieval London, even though initially
few inhabitants could actually write
themselves. Whilst previous studies
have tended to focus on middle-class
literary reading patterns, this study
examines writing skills separately both
from reading skills and from literature.
Richardson has traced the gradual use
of the written word among the middle
class and the tentative emergence of
English as the language of choice.

The Early English Caribbean,
15701700
Editors: Carla Gardina Pestana
and Sharon V Salinger
The West Indies has captured
the English imagination since the
beginning of the sixteenth century.
The Caribbean held both enormous
potential and serious danger. Pirates,
drawn by the possibility of riches,
operated in the region, disease and
disaster were rife and the Spanish
were prepared to defend their colonies
by force. In spite of such obstacles
Englands Caribbean colonies became
the most proftable of her New World
empire. Merchants and settlers
arrived and bought land, they set up
plantations, they traded in sugar and
slaves. This four-volume collection
brings together rare pamphlets from
the formative years of the English
involvement in the Caribbean.
Organized thematically, texts cover
frst impressions of the region,
rivalries between European traders
and settlers, labour, governance,
religion, natural history and the
experience of everyday life in the
colonies. It will be of interest to those
researching the early Caribbean,
empire and colonization, Atlantic
studies, maritime history, piracy and
the history of slavery.

English Nonconformist
Poetry, 16601700
Editor: George Southcombe
After the upheavals of the Civil
War, religious dissent became a
recognized fact of life in England
and was fnally, if incompletely,
accepted in the Toleration Act of 1689.
Nonconformists, although constituting
a relatively small proportion of the
population, produced a volume
of printed material which belied
their numbers. This body of work
was heterogeneous and used for an
enormous variety of purposes. In
this, the frst scholarly edition of its
kind, Southcombe draws together a
representative selection of dissenting
poetry.
the publication of this unfinchingly
activist seventeenth-century poetry with
its superb introduction by an eminent
historian is an essential resource for the
expanding feld of Dissenting Studies.

of Seventeenth-Century
England: A Critical Bibliography

its kind providing correct publication

The American Colonies and
the British Empire,
16071783
Editor: Steven Sarson
At the start of the seventeenth century,
colonies were largely autonomous
private enterprises. Over time,
however, British governments grew
more interventionist as they became
increasingly alarmed by the colonists
economic and political liberties. Varied

colonial ideas were espoused by British
political economists, politicians,
administrators, colonial governors and
other offcials, as well as by colonists.

Literature and Science,
16601834
General Editor: Judith Hawley
In the eighteenth century science
was used to denote knowledge of
all sorts. Ways of understanding
and representing the world were
being reformulated in a period of
intellectual ferment and artistic
experimentation. In the Royal Society,
in the gentlemans library, in Grub
Street and the ladys closet, the impact
of natural philosophy was registered,
assimilated, extended and sometimes
challenged and rebuffed. Texts are
reproduced in facsimile and show the
polymathic nature of the literature of
science.

The Reception of Lockes
Politics: From the 1690s to the 1830s
Editor: Mark Goldie
In these volumes can be traced the
manner in which Locke became both
the idol of the Whig Settlement of
1689 and the key to unravel that
settlement in the name of radical
populism: a Locke made safe for Whig
gentlemen, as well as a Locke who, in
Mary Astells words of 1706, prompted
the question, If all men are born free,
how is that all women are born slaves?
Locke is debated across a gamut of
genres: in formal treatises, polemical
pamphlets, newspaper essays, political
sermons, and cheap tracts aimed at
politicizing the masses.
