Sacred Space in Early Modern Europe

Book Overview

Leading historians explore the many dimensions of sacred space (churches and chapels, pilgrimage sites, holy wells) during and after the religious upheavals of the early modern period through a variety of contexts and Christian religious divisions. Based on original research, these essays provide new insights into the definition and understanding of sanctity in the post-Reformation era and make an important contribution to the study of sacred space.
