- Context and Rationale
Domestic Devotions in Early Modern Italy is being submitted as a multi-component output because Corry worked on three elements of the book. While Corry’s research is evident within the chapter, her contribution to the volume can only be appreciated by assessing the wider context. This publication reveals the centrality of domesticity to early modern Catholicism. The book is grounded in research, a workshop and a conference funded by the four-year E.R.C. project ‘The Place of Piety in the Italian Renaissance Home’.
Research Process, Roles & Contribution
Corry contributed a chapter, a co-authored introduction and commissioned, edited and managed the publication. Corry took the lead on editorial work for the volume (she was the only native English speaker among the three editors). She solicited papers, communicated with contributors and Brill’s Intersections editorial board, evaluated drafts, and proofread submissions. She contributed a third of the original text of the introduction. Her role in generating, selecting, evaluating, editing and grouping essays under thematic headings made Corry’s contribution central to the volume.
Insights
This volume illuminates the home as the site of religious practice, a locus often ignored by historians of religion. Original insights included the complex ways in which domestic space interacted with that of other religious sites and institutions, the central place of religious material culture to family life, and the laity’s active role in shaping Catholicism to their needs. Corry’s essay in the volume, ‘Delight in Painted Companions’, focuses on panel paintings entirely overlooked by art historical scholarship. Original insights include a new methodology for exploring the spiritual and familial concerns of those lower down the social scale, and focus on the religious education of infants during the Italian Renaissance.
Sharing
Project funds resulted in the volume being open access which encouraged extensive dissemination.
