Cybulski from Poland and Rutkovska from Lithuania analyse the religious literature of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Instead of emphasising separateness, they explore the deep mutual interdependency of the two countries.
Exploring the shared Polish-Lithuanian heritage through religious literature.
This volume is one of scarce studies of religious literature of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth conducted by scholars from both Poland and Lithuania. What makes this endeavour important is mainly the will to overcome the frontiers and strains of the modern world that encourage exploring separateness instead of the realities of deep mutual interdependency. Lukasz Cybulski and Kristina Rutkovska analyse secular and religious writings of secular authors as well as those belonging to the clergy and religious orders. Their main interest lies in exploring the different genres of early modern Polish and Lithuanian sermons and novels, and in tracing this heritage to its social and literary context through the works' material presence in manuscript form and in print. Other papers in this volume give insights into the origins of vernacular translations of the Holy Scriptures and the controversies surrounding them, as well as into the written testimonies of religious devotion and conversi ons. The aim has been not only to confront different kinds of texts and experiences, but to situate this heritage in its social and confessional context.
