The Impact of Reform and Modernity on Material Religion in North-West Europe, 1780-1920

2022 || Hardcover || Jan De Maeyer e.a. || Leuven University Press

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.
