- Summary:
- This comprehensive study of rituals in early modern Europe draws on extensive historical research to argue that between 1400 and 1700 a revolution in ritual theory took place. The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century constituted a massive theoretical assault on many ritual practices. However, while intellectuals came to disparage their power, ritual practices endured as much as ever. 7 photos.
