Painting the Sacred in the Age of Romanticism
After a century of Rationalist scepticism and political upheaval, the nineteenth century awakened to a fierce battle between the forces of secularization and the crusaders of a Christian revival. From this battlefield arose an art movement that would become the torchbearer of a new religious art: Nazarenism. From its inception in the Lukasbund of 1809, this art was controversial. It nonetheless succeeded in becoming a lingua franca in religious circles throughout Europe, America, and the world at large. This is the first major study of the evolution, structure, and conceptual complexity of this archetypically nineteenth-century language of belief. The Nazarene quest for a modern religious id...
The Man Who Crucified Himself
The Man Who Crucified Himself is the history of a sensational nineteenth-century medical case. In 1805 a shoemaker called Mattio Lovat attempted to crucify himself in Venice. His act raised a furore, and the story spread across Europe. For the rest of the century Lovat’s case fuelled scientific and popular debates on medicine, madness, suicide and religion. Drawing on Italian, German, English and French sources, Maria Böhmer traces the multiple readings of the case and identifies various 'interpretive communities'. Her meticulously researched study sheds new light on Lovat’s case and offers fresh insights on the case narrative as a genre - both epistemic and literary.

Material Change
The long nineteenth century (c.1780–c.1920) in Western Europe saw an unprecedented rise in the production and possession of material goods. The material culture diversified and led to a rich variety of expressions. Dovetailing with a process of confessionalisation that manifested itself quite simultaneously, material religion witnessed its heyday in this period; from church buildings to small devotional objects. The present volume analyses how various types of reform (state, societal, and ecclesiastical) that were part of the process of modernisation affected the material devotional culture within Protestantism, Anglicanism, and Roman Catholicism. Although the contributions in this book st...

Studien zur Stadtchronistik (1400-1850)
Stadtchroniken gehörten vom Spätmittelalter bis in die Neuzeit zu den beliebten Darstellungsformen der städtischen Geschichte. Anders als Urkunden oder Verwaltungsakte bringen sie Stadtgeschichte in Zusammenhänge, können Beziehungen herstellen und Sachverhalte einordnen. Durch die Zusammenschau der Fürstentümer im ostmitteldeutschen Raum, das heißt der Länder der böhmischen Krone sowie deren Nachbarn, offenbaren sich vielfältige Verflechtungen untereinander. Ein einleitender Beitrag zur Historiografie Hamburgs und Bremens öffnet den Untersuchungsraum auch in den Norden Deutschlands.
