Description

Scholarship in the past few decades has emphasized strategies used by Reformers not only to record, but also to appeal to and captivate both the lettered and unlettered audiences of Europe and England. This session features papers which provide a record of the polemical stances of Reformers while exploring the many strategies used to render this record compelling in Pre-Reformation, Reformation, and Post Reformation discourse.
