Summary:"The 12 articles in this volume explore the importance of early modern story-telling, revealing new histories of identity, notions of gender, honour, community, and trust, and emphasizing the importance of a vernacular culture shared by both commoners and elites. In so doing, they collect the stories of individuals, male and female, Christian and non-Christian, old and young, and examine how they strove to justify their actions. Contributors use the tools of social, gender, religious, and microhistory to contextualize early modern hopes and needs, offering new insights into the complexity and creativity of lives from across the social spectrum."--
