The Reception of Erasmus in the Early Modern Period

Erasmus was one of the most widely read and controversial authors of the
early modern period, inspiring a broad range of reader reactions. The
present volume addresses various aspects of Erasmus's reception, including
how the author's name was sometimes used to bolster decidedly "un-Erasmian"
ideals.
