{"exhibit":{"id":17,"title":"Illustrating the Reformation","description":"

Although the Reformation is often associated with iconoclasm\u2014and some Reformers indeed did criticize, censor, and destroy Catholic art\u2014there was no unified response to art, or even the unified movement that the singular term \u201cReformation\u201d suggests of the religious changes that spanned the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The then-still-recent invention of moveable type resulted in a proliferation of books that promoted or endorsed religious change. Many of these \u201creformation\u201d texts, in fact, were decorated and included images. This exhibit illustrates some of the different ways in which both Catholic and Protestant books employed images, ornaments, and decoration to complement text.<\/span><\/p>","credits":"This exhibition was curated by Elisa Tersigni, who is a PhD candidate in English and Book History & Print Culture. Her research brings together analytical bibliography and algorithmic methodologies to examine writing, printing, and the English language during the English Reformation.
