Lived Religion and Gender in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe Summary

Lived Religion and Gender in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe by Sari Katajala-Peltomaa (University of Tampere, Finland)

This book uncovers both the concept of living with religion at various levels from church institutions to daily life and offers an understanding of gender in the intersectional context of religious experience providing students with the perfect entry point to understanding how men and women experienced religion across pre-modern Europe.

Each chapter combines both a medieval and an early modern case study to tell the stories of individual or groups of men and women, allowing students to see the change and continuities across both periods.

The case studies are placed in the context of both the period and the historiography and cover a range of countries from Western Europe to Italy and Scandinavia providing students with a broad range of examples to see how religion and gender were lived across Europe.
