About this Event
Convenors: Professor Patrick Collinson, Trinity College, Cambridge, and Dr Polly Ha, Clare Hall, Cambridge.
This conference will bring reformation and reception studies together through an exploration of the relationship between the Protestant reformations on the continent and in Britain and Ireland. Speakers will raise new questions concerning reformation and reception by reconsidering traditional associations and investigating new ones within an interdisciplinary framework. The programme will address a wide range of subjects, including reception studies in theology, literature, linguistics, book history, intellectual history, and social history. This meeting will also aim to initiate similar approaches in cross-confessional, radical reformation and broader cultural studies.
