Combining historical, historiographical, museological, and touristic analysis, this study investigates how late medieval and early modern women of the Low Countries expressed themselves through texts, art, architecture and material objects, how they were represented by contemporaries, and how they have been interpreted in modern academic and popular contexts. Broomhall and Spinks analyse late medieval and early modern women's opportunities to narrate their experiences and ideas, as well as the processes that have shaped their representation in the heritage and cultural tourism of the Netherlands and Belgium today. The authors study female-authored objects such as familial and political letters, dolls' houses, account books; visual sources, funeral monuments, and buildings commissioned by female patrons; and further artworks as well as heritage sites, streetscapes, souvenirs and clothing with gendered historical resonances. Employing an innovative range of materials from written sources to artworks, material objects, heritage sites and urban precincts, the authors argue that interpretations of late medieval and early modern women's experiences by historians and art scholars interact with presentations by cultural and heritage tourism providers in significant ways that deserve closer interrogation by feminist researchers.

The painter and printmaker Albrecht Dürer is one of the most important figures of the German Renaissance. This book accompanies the first major exhibition of the Whitworth art gallery’s outstanding Dürer collection in over half a century. It offers a new perspective on Dürer as an intense observer of the worlds of manufacture, design and trade that fill his graphic art.Artworks and artefacts examined here expose understudied aspects of Dürer’s art and practice, including his attentive examination of objects of daily domestic use, his involvement in economies of local manufacture and exchange, the microarchitectures of local craft and, finally, his attention to cultures of natural and philosophical inquiry and learning.

This volume brings together some of the most exciting new scholarship on these themes, and thus pays tribute to the ground-breaking work of Charles Zika. Seventeen interdisciplinary essays offer new insights into the materiality and belief systems of early modern religious cultures as found in artworks, books, fragmentary texts and even in Protestant ‘relics’. Some contributions reassess communal and individual responses to cases of possession, others focus on witchcraft and manifestations of the disordered natural world. Canonical figures and events, from Martin Luther to the Salem witch trials, are looked at afresh. Collectively, these essays demonstrate how cultural and interdisciplinary trends in religious history illuminate the experiences of early modern Europeans.Contributors: Susan Broomhall, Heather Dalton, Dagmar Eichberger, Peter Howard, E. J. Kent, Brian P. Levack, Dolly MacKinnon, Louise Marshall, Donna Merwick, Leigh T.I. Penman, Shelley Perlove, Lyndal Roper, Peter Sherlock, Larry Silver, Patricia Simons, Jennifer Spinks, Hans de Waardt and Alexandra Walsham.

The Material and Emotional Worlds of Albrecht Dürer’s Nuremberg explores the life, work, and artistic creativity of Albrecht Dürer within the vibrant cultural, economic, and material world of Nuremberg around 1500, offering fresh interdisciplinary insights into the objects, emotions, and experiences that shaped his art and legacy.Nuremberg c.1500 was one of the most important and dynamic political, economic and cultural centres in Europe. It was also home to Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), a leading artist of the Renaissance. Dürer was not a solitary figure, but part of an extensive network of skilled craftspeople and artists, humanists and entrepreneurs, embedded in the rich, everyday economic, material, cultural, and religious environment and experience of his city. This interdisciplinary collection of essays is the first to explicitly situate the artist and his work within this world of manufactured objects and materials, the driving power of the emotional resonances and investments engendered by these objects, and the spatial, sensory, and ritual experiences that shaped his relationships and art making. It casts new light on everyday and extraordinary objects in Dürer’s work and shows how his feelings about the material world were critical to his artistic creativity, his creation of new imagery, and his pre-eminence as an artist during and after his lifetime.This book will be of vital interest to scholars, students, museum professionals, and a broader public interested in new, multi-disciplinary perspectives on the worlds of Albrecht Dürer.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
