Conversion Narratives in the Early Modern World

A 3-day conference, 9 - 11 June, 2011

This three-day conference will bring together scholars from all over the world to discuss the politics and poetics of conversion in the early modern period. More than seventy speakers will explore stories of conversion from Britain to Brazil and Venice to Vietnam, in order to ask what constituted conversion, how religious feeling was understood and expressed, and how rhetorical and narrative conventions structured the experience of religious change.

The first two days of the conference will be held at the historic King's Manor in the centre of York, while the third day will be hosted in the new Humanities Research Centre on the University's Heslington campus.
