Pieties in Transition

This significant and innovative collection explores the changing piety of townspeople and villagers before, during, and after the Reformation. Focusing particularly on the county of Kent, it brings together leading and new scholars from England and the Netherlands to present new research on a subject of importance to historians of society and religion in late medieval and early modern Europe. Contributors examine the diverse evidence for transitions in piety and the processes of these changes and incorporate a range of approaches including social, cultural and religious history, literary and manuscript studies, social anthropology and archaeology.
