This book examines the effects of the English Reformation on the full spectrum of lay religion from 1540 to 1580 through an investigation of individuals and parishes in Gloucestershire. Rather than focusing on either the acceptance of Protestantism or the demise of the traditional Catholic religion, as other historians have done, it considers all shades of belief against the backdrop of shifting official religious policy. The result is the story of responses ranging from stiff resistance to eager acceptance, creating a picture of the religion of the laity which is diverse and complex, but also layered as parishes and individuals expressed their faith in ways which reflected the institutional or personal nature of their piety. Finally, while the book focuses on Gloucestershire, it reveals broad patterns of beliefs and practices which could probably be found all over England.

This book is a unique study of a neglected period of English writing. It places mid-Tudor literature within the context of important debates about English nationhood, the nature of the English Reformation and English humanism, the growth of the political nation, and how Renaissance writers constructed authorial identities in manuscript and print. - ;Writing the Nation in Reformation England offers a major re-evaluation of English writing between 1530 and 1580. Studying authors such as Andrew Borde, John Leland, William Thomas, Thomas Smith, and Thomas Wilson, Cathy Shrank highlights the signif

"This volume addresses a perennial question in the history of English religion: to what extent did the late-medieval dissenters known as lollards influence the Protestant Reformation? To answer this question, it examines the afterlife of the lollards as shaped by sixteenth-century evangelicals, especially John Foxe, and their seventeenth-century successors. Foxe's Acts and Monuments (1563) is second only to the Bible as the most influential book in early modern England, a juggernaut in Tudor historical writing that solidified the emergent national church. His reorientation of the lollards from heretics and traitors to martyrs and model subjects portrayed these medieval dissenters as Protestants' ideological forebears. This volume offers a strong corrective to the traditional interpretation that Foxe heavily edited radical Lollard views to bring them in line with a mainstream monarchical church. Instead, it shows that a wealth of non-mainstream material is present in Foxe's text that allowed seventeenth-century religious radicals to appropriate the lollards as historical validation of their own theological and political positions, including the act of separation.Lollards in the English Reformation traces the ensuing struggle for the Lollard legacy between conformists and nonconformists, arguing that the same lollards that Foxe used to bolster the fledgling English church in the sixteenth century would play a role in its fragmentation in the seventeenth. This fresh and exciting research promises to shake up our assumptions about Foxe, the levels of radicalism in post-Reformation Protestantism and the significance of historical precedent in post-Reformation polemic." -- Back cover. This book examines the afterlife of the lollard movement, demonstrating how it was shaped and used by evangelicals and seventeenth-century Protestants. It focuses on the work of John Foxe, whose influential Acts and Monuments (1563) reoriented the lollards from heretics and traitors to martyrs and model subjects, portraying them as Protestants' ideological forebears. It is a scholarly mainstay that Foxe edited radical lollard views to bring them in line with a mainstream monarchical church. But this book offers a strong corrective to the argument, revealing that the subversive material present in Foxe's text allowed seventeenth-century religious radicals to appropriate the lollards as historical validation of their own theological and political positions. The book argues that the same lollards who were used to strengthen the English church in the sixteenth century would play a role in its fragmentation in the seventeenth..

Challenging the assumption that medieval Catholicism was overly sensual, whilst Protestantism rejected any element of worship appealing to the eye, ear, or nose, this study asks fundamental questions about the relationship between religion and the senses. The book begins with an examination of pre-Reformation beliefs and practices, establishing intellectual views on the senses in fifteenth-century England. Having established the parameters for the role of sense before the Reformation, the second half of the book mirrors these concerns in the post-1520 world, looking at how, and to what degree,

This project examines the important implications of printed vernacular appeals to a nascent public by the reformer William Tyndale, by religious conservatives such as Thomas More, and by Henry VIII’s regime in the volatile early years of the English Reformation. The book explores the nature of this public (materially and as a discursive concept) and the various ways in which Tyndale provoked and justified public discussion of the central religious issues of his day. Tyndale’s writings raised important issues of authority and legitimacy and challenged many of the traditional notions of hierarchy at the heart of early modern European society. This study analyzes how this challenge manifested itself in Tyndale’s ecclesiology and his political theology.
