This series reflects the awakened and expanding profile of the history of
religion within the academy in recent years. It intends publishing exciting
new and high quality work on the history of religion and belief since 1700
and will encourage the production of interdisciplinary proposals and the
use of innovative methodologies. The series will also welcome book pro-
posals on the history of Atheism, Secularism, Humanism and unbelief/
secularity and to encourage research agendas in this area alongside those
in religious belief. The series will be happy to reflect the work of new
scholars entering the field as well as the work of established scholars. The
series welcomes proposals covering subjects in Britain, Europe, the United
States and Oceania.

cknowledgements
This edited collection originated in two conferences, which took place at
the University of Rouen Normandie in 2017 and 2018, and which were
materially and intellectually supported by our research units, the ERIAC
(“Équipe de Recherche Interdisciplinaire sur les Aires Culturelles,”
EA4705) and the GRHis (“Groupe de recherche d’Histoire,” EA 3831),
as well as by the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) and the Groupe De
Rercherches 3434 Mondes britanniques. We would like to warmly thank
their directors, namely Miguel Olmos (ERIAC), Michel Biard and Anna
Bellavitis (GRHis), and Jean- François Dunyach (GDR3434), and wish to
extend our thanks to the support staff in those research units, particularly
to François Delisle (GRHis) and Benoît Roux (ERIAC).
We are also grateful to Adam Morton and the participants in the “Anti-
Catholicism in Britain and Europe” workshop at Newcastle University
(September 2018) for providing stimulating ideas which helped to build
this edited collection.
The publishing team at Palgrave has been immensely helpful and reac-
tive, and we would like to thank David Nash for including this volume in
the series Histories of the Sacred and the Secular, 1700–2000.
Last but not least, we would like to convey our sincerest gratitude to all
the authors of this collection, for the high quality of their contributions as
well as for their patience during the editorial process.
