"The Pastor In Print explores the phenomenon of early modern pastors who chose to become print authors, addressing ways authorship could enhance, limit or change clerical ministry and ways pastor-authors conceived of their work in parish and print. It identifies strategies through which pastor-authors established authorial identities, targeted different sorts of audiences and strategically selected genre and content as intentional parts of their clerical vocation. The first study to provide a book-length analysis of the phenomenon of early modern pastors writing for print, it uses a case study of prolific pastor-author Richard Bernard to offer a new lens through which to view religious change in this pivotal period. By bringing together questions of print, genre, religio-politics and theology, the book will interest scholars and postgraduate students in history, literature and theological studies, and its readability will appeal to undergraduates and non-specialists."

"In Writing Tamil Catholicism: Literature, Persuasion and Devotion in the Eighteenth Century, Margherita Trento explores the process by which the Jesuit missionary Costanzo Giuseppe Beschi (1680-1747), in collaboration with a group of local lay elites identified by their profession as catechists, chose Tamil poetry as the social and political language of Catholicism in eighteenth-century South India. Trento analyzes a corpus of Tamil grammars and poems, chiefly Beschi's Tēmpāvaṇi, alongside archival documents to show how, by presenting themselves as poets and intellectuals, Catholic elites gained a persuasive voice as well as entrance into the learned society of the Tamil country and its networks of patronage"--

Taali. Récits allégoriques et initiatiques est une ode à la renaissance culturelle et cultuelle de l'Afrique. L'Afrique des convertis, orpheline de son leadership et veuve de la perte de conscience collective de son peuple, ne pourrait jamais songer à une liberté tant que ceux qui la dirigent et ceux qui la peuplent continuent à vouer des cultes et à se battre pour des dieux éloignés de ses terres. C'est dans ce contexte que l'auteur pousse à la réflexion sur les questions de l'existentialisme, de la croyance ancestrale, de l'immortalité de l'âme, ainsi que la portée des traditions coutumières telles que : la divination de la mère fondée sur le matriarcat, la dualité, la circoncision féminine et masculine, la conception du cœur et du nom, etc. Cet ouvrage se veut comme un appel au retour aux traditions ancestrales qui sera indéniable par l'abandon des langues et des religions étrangères, mais aussi une critique à l'encontre de la traîtrise des Africains convertis qui constituent un obstacle à la restauration de la mémoire collective.

The female voice was deployed by male and female authors alike to signal emerging discourses of religious and political liberty in early Stuart England. Christina Luckyj's important new study focuses critical attention on writing in multiple genres to show how, in the coded rhetoric of seventeenth-century religious politics, the wife's conscience in resisting tyranny represents the rights of the subject, and the bride's militant voice in the Song of Songs champions Christ's independent jurisdiction. Revealing this gendered system of representation through close analysis of writings by Elizabeth Cary, Aemilia Lanyer, Rachel Speght, Mary Wroth and Anne Southwell, Luckyj illuminates the dangers of essentializing female voices and restricting them to domestic space. Through their connections with parliament, with factional courtiers, or with dissident religious figures, major women writers occupied a powerful oppositional stance in relation to early Stuart monarchs and crafted a radical new politics of the female voice.

'Religion' has become suspect in literary studies, often for good reason, as it has become associated with reactionary politics and outdated codified beliefs. The author demonstrates how three high modernist writers work to reform religious experience for an age dominated by the extremes of radical skepticism and dogmatic rigidity. He offers provocative readings of these well-studied writers.

Race, in the early modern period, is a concept at the crossroads of a set of overlapping concerns of lineage, religion, and nation. Bad Humor charts how these concerns converged around a pseudoscientific system that confirmed the absolute difference between Protestants and Catholics and justified English colonial domination.
