Le mot "Renaissance" est une source intarissable de malentendus. Il suggère, tout à la fois, une ère nouvelle et le rétablissement d'une situation antérieure, la métamorphose et le retour du même. De là découlent des ambiguïtés que rien ne souligne mieux que les multiples façons dont l'époque qui a reçu ce nom réagit à l'idée même de la nouveauté. On serait tenté de croire qu'elle lui fit bon accueil. Il semble qu'il n'en fut rien. Placée par une longue et prestigieuse historiographie sous le signe de la découverte, la Renaissance fut plutôt vécue comme redécouverte, dans un climat peu favorable, sinon hostile à la novation. Quand on y eut le sentiment exalté d'entrer dans un monde différent, ce fut en prenant soin de s'adosser à une certaine tradition. Pourtant, l'idée d'une période ayant marqué la fin d'un long épisode de stagnation et le commencement d'un cycle de progrès ne fut-elle qu'un mythe élaboré par les Lumières en quête d'une généalogie légitimatrice ? Ce mythe eût-il connu pareille fortune s'il n'avait reposé sur quelques solides fondements ? Les études réunies ici tentent de répondre à ces questions et complètent celles du volume Esthétiques de la nouveauté à la Renaissance.

This is the first of two volume showcasing research generated throught the 'Converting the Isles' Network. The volume offers a cross disciplinary perspective on conversion to Christianity in the early middle ages in the Insular World, with contributions by leading historians, archaeologists, and literary scholars. Conversion to Christianity is arguably the most revolutionary social and cultural change that Europe experienced throughout Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Christianisation affected all strata of society and transformed not only religious beliefs and practices, but also the nature of government, the priorities of the economy, the character of kinship, and gender relations. It is against this backdrop that an international array of leading medievalists gathered under the auspices of the Converting the Isles Research Network (funded by the Leverhulme Trust) to investigate social, economic, and cultural aspects of conversion in the early medieval Insular world, covering different parts of Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, and Iceland. This is the first of two volumes showcasing research generated through the Network?s activities. This volume focuses on specific aspects of the introduction of Christianity into the early medieval Insular world, including the nature and degree of missionary activity involved, socio-economic stimulants for conversion, as well as the depiction and presentation of a Christian saint. Its companion volume has the transformation of landscape as its main theme. By adopting a broad comparative and cross-disciplinary approach that transcends national boundaries, the material presented here and in volume II offers novel perspectives on conversion that challenge existing historiographical narratives and draw on up-to-date archaeological and written evidence in order to shed light on central issues pertaining to the conversion of the Isles.
