CFP: "Print Culture and Religion"

How did the expansion of print culture in the eighteenth century affect
religious beliefs, practices, and institutions? Conversely, how did
religion affect the expansion of print culture? This session seeks
20-minute papers on the production, distribution, and reception of print
in the eighteenth-century with an emphasis on religious materials, or
responses to print framed in religious terms. Possible materials of
interest might include but are not limited to sacred writings, hymnbooks,
sermons, spiritual autobiographies, prayer books, moral tracts, or
religious periodicals. I welcome papers from those working in a variety of
languages and in a variety of national or religious traditions.

Panel organizer: Dr. George H. Williams
