Catholic Europe, 1592-1648: Centre and PeripheriesCatholic Europe, 1592-1648 is an unusual book which concentrates on a series of societies often ignored in general historical treatments of Catholic renewal and which are almost never considered alongside each other. By comparing different societies on the periphery of Europe, this volume offers the opportunity to evaluate both the very varied nature of Catholic adaptation to different conditions and events, and also the limitations which restricted it insocieties such as England and the Balkans.On the periphery of Europe, Catholic renewal was largely a phenomenon of the later sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and Catholic Europe,1592-1648 probes the manner in which conventional treatments of the phenomenon of religious change in the Catholic world can underestimate the degree to which this was conditioned by contemporary events as well as the great landmarks of the sixteenth century such as the foundation of the Jesuits or the Council of Trent. |
