Werner, Yvonne Maria LU and Harvard, Jonas (2013) In European Studies: An Interdisciplinary Series in European Culture, History and Politics. 31.- Abstract
- International research has emphasised the importance of anti-Catholicism for the processes of identity formation across Europe, both for established Protestant Churches and for national liberal movements.

Anti-Catholic literature formed an international genre that spread across the European continent.
The purpose of this volume is to show how different national contexts affected the proliferation of anti-Catholic messages over the course of four centuries of European history, from 1600 to 2000. Factors such as the legal status of various faiths and their opportunities for proselytising, the relation between state and church, transnational cultural relations, and the development of different media and channels for communication all provide clues as to the general patterns governing anti-Catholicism as a societal force.
