This series focuses on how early modern Europeans changed themselves and were changed – including their confessional, social, political, gender and sexual identities – and explores historical forces and processes of intellectual, material and creative transformation. Conversions showcases leading-edge work from established and the ablest early-career scholars. The series takes up questions about how the proliferation of new forms of conversion transformed Europe and its worlds from around 1400 to around 1700 and opened pathways toward the political, ideological, and religious cultures of modernity. There is no existing series close to Conversions in disciplinary range or intellectual aspiration. Each book in the series will be valuable in its own right and valuable for its ability to speak to questions about culture, religion, and how conversion in its multiple forms, including as a way of thinking about historical change, brought about the transformations that made the world modern.
