- This interdisciplinary volume (literature and history) of 464 pages contains 23 chapters and 40 illustrations. Walsham and Cummings jointly commissioned the volume for the AHRC Major Grant Remembering the Reformation (2016-9). They chose 23 contributors from 17 institutions across three continents, with equal gender balance and a mix of junior and senior scholars. The project was developed as a new methodological field reconceptualising the Reformation in terms of conflicting memory cultures over a two-hundred-year period. The contributions were divided into the four research themes of the grant project (‘Events and Temporalities’, ‘Objects and Places’, ‘Lives and Afterlives’, and ‘Rituals and Bodies’) and presented in draft versions at a workshop in York in 2016. The themes form the structure of the resulting volume, in order to reflect a comprehensive range of memory practice, including material studies and the visual arts as well as literary and historical writing. The postdocs for the project (Law and Wallace) then joined with Cummings and Walsham in working with the contributors in creating the full volume. The volume was peer-reviewed by two press readers and substantially revised. Cummings was one of the co-editors who conceived the volume, wrote the proposal for Cambridge University Press, edited chapters, created the thematic structure, and wrote the 45 -page introduction. The editors oversaw copyediting and indexing. Cummings had particular responsibility for the section on ‘Rituals and Bodies’ and contributed a chapter of 19 pages on the fate of Catholic Missals after the Reformation, based on a survey of 24 surviving copies of the York Use in a dozen research collections.
