Ritual in Early Modern Europe 下载 pdf 2025 网盘 epub 在线 mobi 免费

The first comprehensive study of rituals in early modern Europe,

this new and expanded edition argues that between about 1400 and

1700 a revolution in ritual theory took place that utterly

transformed concepts about time, the body, and the presence of

spiritual forces in the world. Edward Muir draws on extensive

historical research to emphasize the persistence of traditional

Christian ritual practices even as educated elites attempted to

privilege reason over passion, textual interpretation over ritual

action, and moral rectitude over gaining access to supernatural

powers. Edward Muir discusses wide ranging themes such as rites of

passage, carnivalesque festivity, the rise of manners, Protestant

and Catholic Reformations, the alleged anti-Christian rituals of

Jews and witches. The new edition examines the impact on the

European understanding of ritual from the discoveries of new

civilizations in the Americas and missionary efforts in China and

adds more material about rituals peculiar to women.

This new and expanded edition of the first comprehensive study of rituals in early modern Europe examines the impact on the European interpretation of ritual from the discoveries of new civilizations in the Americas and missionary efforts in China. It also adds more material about rituals peculiar to women. Edward Muir draws on extensive historical research to emphasize the persistence of traditional Christian ritual practices, even as enlightened elites attempted to choose reason over passion, textual interpretation over ritual action, and moral rectitude over gaining access to supernatural powers of anti-Christian rituals.
