Narrative Strategies of Counter-Reformation

Prof. Dr. Ulrike Sprenger

Abstract

The project reads early modern historiography, especially in Counter-Reformation Spain, as a double-faced discourse: While the latter strives - on one hand - to achieve religious unity through narratives of origin it tends - on the other hand - to locally diversify and thereby secularise these origins.
