Introduction; Too Long for a Play: Shakespeare and the Wars of Religion; Caesarean Negotiations: Forgetting Henri IV's Past after the French Wars of Religion; The Historical Sublime in Shakespeare's Richard II; Flooding Faith: Forgetfulness in Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy; Forgotten Religions, Religions that Cause Forgetting; Controversy and Reconciliation: Grotius, Vondel and the Debate on Religious Peace in the Dutch Republic; The Renaissance Musician and Theorist Confronted with Religious Fragmentation: Conflict, Betrayal and Dissimulation.
'Of no church': Immigrants, liefhebbers and Confessional Diversity in Elizabethan London, c. 1568-1581Trading Goods -- Trading Faith? Religious Conflict and Commercial Interests in Early Modern Spain; "Familiar Strangers": Dissimulation, Tolerance and Faith in Early Anglo-Ottoman Travel; Perpetual Oblivion? Remembering Westphalia in a Post-Secular Age; Index.
Summary: Early modern Europe faced a host of confessional conflicts. The Reformation brought about struggles over religious rites and doctrines as well as the persecution of secret adherents and forbidden practices. So far, the issues of religious pluralisation and the divisions between Catholic and Protestant positions, among sectarian movements, or between the church and the state, have been debated mostly in terms of dissent and escalation. Yet despite the centrality of confessional conflict, it did not always erupt into hostilities. Rather, everyday life had to go on, people had to arrange themselv.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
