- Project summary relevant to Fellowship:
“A Fault of Humour”: The Constitution of Belief in Early Modern England investigates how the confessional categories of Protestant and Catholic functioned in early modern England as material categories. The medical theory of this period gave the prevailing sense that body and soul were in sympathy. The project explores what this implies for religious identity.
