Sacred Journeys in the Counter-Reformation
examines long-distance pilgrimages to
ancient, international shrines in northwestern Europe in the two centuries after
Luther. In this region in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, saints' cults and pilgrimage were
frequently contested, more so than in the
Mediterranean world. The central focus is
that of agency in religious change: what
drove spiritual reform and what were its
consequences for the 'ordinary' Catholic?
This is explored through concepts of the
religious self, holy materiality, and sacred
space.
Elizabeth Tingle is professor of early modern European History at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK.
