In post-Reformation England, "monster" could mean both a horrible aberration and a divine embodiment or revelation. In
Marvelous Protestantism,
Julie Crawford examines accounts of monstrous births and the strikingly graphic illustrations accompanying them in popular pamphlets, demonstrating how Protestant reformers used these accounts to guide their public through the spiritual confusion and social turmoil of the time.
Traditionally, accounts of monstrous births and other marvelous occurrences have been analyzed in relationship to the tabloid press or the rise of modern science. Crawford focuses instead on the ways in which broadsheets and pamphlets served a new religion desperately trying to establish clear guidelines for religious and moral behavior during a period of political uncertainty. Perceptively showing how monstrous births implicated women as reproductive forces, Crawford demonstrates how women were responsible for the reproduction of Protestantism itself, whether robust or grotesquely misconceived.
Through its examination of the nature of propaganda and early modern reading practices, and of the central role women played in Protestant reform,
Marvelous Protestantism
establishes a new approach to interpreting post-Reformation English culture.
