It brings together twenty-three scholars from thirteen different countries to explore the dynamic and profound ways in which polemical theology, its discourses and codes, interacted with non-theological literary genres in this era. Offering depth as well as breadth, the contributions chart a myriad of intersections between Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran and Reformed polemics and a range of literary types composed in Latin and the vernacular across Europe. Individual essays discuss how genres such as history and poetry often represented a vehicle to promote and validate a particular confessional standpoint. Authors also address the complex relationship between humanism and polemical theology which tends to be radically oversimplified in early modern studies. A number of essays demonstrate the extent to which certain literary productions harnessed religious polemics in order to induce conversion or promote toleration, and might even engage with supranational issues, such as the divide between Eastern and Western churches. As such, this visionary book constructively bridges the world of religious controversy and the literary space. 546 $a In English and German. 650 0 $a European literature $y Renaissance, 1450-1600 $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103307 650 0 $a Religion and literature $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Christianity and literature $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Polemics in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94008278 650 0 $a Apologetics $z Europe $x History. 650 7 $a European literature $x Renaissance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710967 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / European / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Modern / General. $2 bisacsh 648 7 $a 1450-1600 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 700 1 $a ZavarskyÌ, Svorad, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2016077926 700 1 $a Nicholas, Lucy R., $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2016078001 700 1 $a Riedl, Andrea, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2016024339 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217023022.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2CD8214008B111E8A8C4D83297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
