- Title
Passionate Peace: Emotions and Religious Coexistence in Later Sixteenth-Century Augsburg.
- Authors
Christ, Martin
- Abstract
While it remains somewhat unclear just how much the emotions identified by Dunwoody were distinctive for one of the two confessions (for example, did Catholic texts not emphasize zeal just as much as Protestant ones?), Dunwoody shows very convincingly how different generations of Protestants and Catholics emphasized changing emotions, contributing to the rising confessional tensions towards the end of the sixteenth century. The Protestant council of Augsburg accepted the calendar changes, arguing that it was beneficial for trade with neighbouring territories, leading to a conflict between Protestants and Catholics. Sean Dunwoody's monograph extends the existing literature on the history of emotions by linking it to confessional coexistence in the important early modern city of Augsburg.
