Enforcing the English Reformation in Ireland
This book explores the enforcement of the English Reformation in the heartland of English Ireland during the sixteenth century. Focusing on the diocese of Dublin - the central ecclesiastical unit of the Pale - James Murray explains why the various initiatives undertaken by the reforming archbishops of Dublin, and several of the Tudor viceroys, to secure the allegiance of the indigenous community to the established Church ultimately failed. Led by its clergy, the Pale's loyal colonial community ultimately rejected the Reformation and Protestantism because it perceived them to be irreconcilable with its own traditional English culture and medieval Catholic identity. Dr Murray identifies the Marian period, and the opening decade of Elizabeth I's reign, as the crucial times during which this attachment to survivalist Catholicism solidified, and became a sufficiently powerful ideological force to stand against the theological and liturgical innovations advanced by the Protestant reformers.

Books and Prints at the Heart of the Catholic Reformation in the Low Countries (16th-17th Centuries)
Often considered the advent of mass media, the use of books and prints by Protestants has been widely studied and has generated a rich and plentiful bibliography. In contrast, the production and use of the same media by the proponents of the Counter-Reformation have not received the attention they deserve, especially in the context of the Low Countries. The twelve chapters in this volume provide new perspectives on the efficacy of the handpress book industry to support the Catholic strategy in the Spanish Low Countries and underline the mutually beneficial relationship between the Counter-Reformation and the typographic world. This volume represents an important contribution to our understanding of the sociocultural and socioeconomic background of the Catholic Netherlands.

The Renaissance and Reformation in Northern Europe
This updated version of Humanism and the Northern Renaissance now includes over 60 documents exploring humanist and Renaissance ideals, the zeal of religion, and the wealth of the new world. Together, the sources illuminate the chaos and brilliance of the historical period—as well as its failures and inconsistencies.
The reader has been thoroughly revised to meet the needs of the undergraduate classroom. Over 30 historical documents have been added, including material by Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, William Shakespeare, Christopher Columbus, Miguel de Cervantes, and Galileo Galilei. In the introduction, Bartlett and McGlynn identify humanism as the central expression of the European Renaissance and explain how this idea migrated from Italy to northern Europe. The editors also emphasize the role of the church and Christianity in northern Europe and detail the events leading up to the Reformation. A short essay on how to read historical documents is included. Each reading is preceded by a short introduction and ancillary materials can be found on UTP's History Matters website (www.utphistorymatters.com).

Innovation in the Italian Counter-Reformation
The enduring \"black legend\" of the Italian Counter-Reformation,
which has held sway in both scholarly and popular culture,
maintains that the Council of Trent ushered in a cultural dark age
in Italy, snuffing out the spectacular creative production of the
Renaissance. As a result, the decades following Trent have been
mostly overlooked in Italian literary studies, in particular. The
thirteen essays of Innovation in the Italian
Counter-Reformation present a radical reconsideration of
literary production in post-Tridentine Italy. With particular
attention to the much-maligned tradition of spiritual literature,
the volume's contributors weave literary analysis together with
religion, theater, art, music, science, and gender to demonstrate
that the literature of this period not only merits study but is
positively innovative. Contributors include such renowned critics
as Virginia Cox and Amadeo Quondam, two of the leading scholars on
the Italian Counter-Reformation.
