Women from the Parsonage
This volume provides a new context for women’s writing from the seventeenth through the end of the nineteenth century, highlighting the significant role of the parsonage and the parson himself for women’s education in those centuries. Cindy K. Renker and Susanne Bach's collection of essays is the first of its kind on the education, lives, and works of highly accomplished daughters of Protestant clergymen. Since this volume only represents a limited number of women raised and educated in parsonages, it will surely encourage more investigation of other women writers, translators, educators, etc. with similar backgrounds. Moreover, since this book takes a comparative and transnational approach by focusing on different regions of Europe and different centuries. This collection of essays is thus aimed at scholars in multiple fields such as British literature, German studies, gender studies, the history of women’s education, and social and cultural history.

Women and Early Modern Cultures of Translation
"Women and Early Modern Cultures of Translation: Beyond the Female Tradition is a major new intervention in research on early modern translation and will be an essential point of reference for anyone interested in the history of women translators. Research on women translators has often focused on early modern England; the example of early modern England has been taken as the norm for the rest of the continent and has shaped research on gender and translation more generally. This book brings a new European perspective to the field by introducing the case of Germany. It draws attention to forty women who can be identified as translators in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Germany and shows ...
Reformation Movements in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
Reformation Movements in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries explores how Protestant women across Europe engaged with the Bible, rather than prioritizing how male Reformers viewed women. Contributors consider women as readers, interpreters, and sharers of scripture who encountered biblical texts in their own languages, in devotional texts, and in hymns. Although many available sources derive from and address elite women, the articles collected here show that women from across the social spectrum and in locations from Scotland to Sweden to Bohemia engaged with scripture and with their faith. Contributors include Federica Ambrosini, Sarah Apetrei, Otfried Czaika, Genelle Gertz, Sr. Nicole Grochowina, Andrea Hofmann, Nathan Hood, András Korányi, Raffaella Malvina La Rosa, Pierre-Olivier Léchot, Elsie Anne McKee, Peter Matheson, Charlotte Methuen, Eivor Andersen Oftestad, Stefania Salvadori, Douglas H. Shantz, Rachel K. Teubner, Gyöngyi Varga, Lothar Vogel, and Katharina Will.
A Companion to Death, Burial, and Remembrance in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe, c. 1300–1700
This companion volume seeks to trace the development of ideas relating to death, burial, and the remembrance of the dead in Europe between ca. 1300 and 1700. Examining attitudes to death from a range of disciplinary perspectives, it synthesises current trends in scholarship, challenging the old view that the Black Death and the Protestant Reformations fundamentally altered ideas about death. Instead, it shows how people prepared for death; how death and dying were imagined in art and literature; and how practices and beliefs appeared, disappeared, changed, or strengthened over time as different regions and communities reacted to the changing world around them. Overall, it serves as an indispensable introduction to the subject of death, burial, and commemoration in thirteenth to eighteenth century Europe. Contributors: Ruth Atherton, Stephen Bates, Philip Booth, Zachary Chitwood, Ralph Dekoninck, Freddy C. Dominguez, Anna M. Duch, Jackie Eales, Madeleine Gray, Polina Ignatova, Robert Marcoux, Christopher Ocker, Gordon D. Raeburn, Ludwig Steindorff, Elizabeth Tingle, and Christina Welch.

The Reformation of Prayer among Sixteenth-Century Lutherans
In sixteenth-century Germany Martin Luther and his followers engaged in a thorough reform of beliefs and practices related to prayer, a reform rooted in Luther's theological insights. Rejecting medieval beliefs that saw prayer as a good work, Luther and his followers saw prayer as a human response to God's command to pray and promise to hear. It was a good work, done freely, not to earn salvation but rather to converse with God. Luther and his followers taught prayer in many different ways. They used catechisms and catechesis to teach the basics of Christian belief, including the Lord's Prayer. They emphasized understanding the petitions of prayer, not just reciting words. They encouraged th...
