Summary:
"Cybulski and Rutkovska study secular and religious writings of secular authors as well as those belonging to the clergy and religious orders. Their main interest lies in exploring the different genres of early modern Polish and Lithuanian sermons and novels, and in tracing this heritage to its social and literary context. They also give insights into the origins of vernacular translations of the Holy Scriptures as well as written religious testimonies. Their aim has been not only to confront different kinds of texts and experiences, but to situate this heritage in its social and confessional context." -- Publisher, page four of cover.
