Produktbeschreibung

The early modern period inherited and refashioned a culture of remembrance deeply-ingrained in the customs of Christian community. The Arts of Remembrance in Early Modern England maps the new terrain of remembrance in the post-Reformation and charts the creative re-fashioning of remembrance in material, textual and performance culture.
