The early modern 'public sphere' emerges out of a popular 'culture of persuasion'
fostered by the Protestant Reformation. By 1600, religious identity could no longer
be assumed as 'given' within the hierarchical institutions and elaborate apparatus
of late-medieval 'sacramental culture'. Reformers insisted on a sharp demarcation
between the inner, subjective space of the individual and the external, public space
of institutional life. Gradual displacement of sacramental culture was achieved by
means of argument, textual interpretation, exhortation, reasoned opinion, and moral
advice exercised through both pulpit and press. This alternative culture of persuasion
presupposes a radically distinct notion of mediation. The common focus of the essays
collected here is the dynamic interaction of religion and politics which provided
a crucible for the emerging modern 'public sphere'
