Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Exploring the shared Polish-Lithuanian heritage through religious literature.

This volume is dedicated to secular and religious writings of secular authors as well as those belonging to the clergy and religious orders. Our main interest lay in exploring the different genres of early modern Polish and Lithuanian sermons and novels, and in tracing this heritage to its social and literary context through the works’ material presence in manuscript form and in print. Other papers in this volume have looked into the origins of vernacular translations of the Holy Scriptures and the controversies surrounding them, as well as into the written testimonies of religious devotion and conversions. The aim has been not only to confront different kinds of texts and experiences, but to situate this heritage in its social and confessional context.
