Richard C. Trexler (1932-2007) was one of our era's most original historians.
His modest description of himself as "a social historian with an interest
in cultural history" hardly does justice to a career that covered fields
as diverse as church history, urban history, historical anthropology and
sociology, art history, gender and sexuality studies, and early modern Latin
America. The seventeen articles in this collection are inspired by Trexler's
scholarly achievements and pay tribute to a scholar who never tired of pursuing
new questions, overturning received assumptions, and sharing his enthusiasm
for research with his colleagues and students.
