Religion & society in early modern England : a sourcebook

"The shattering of the Roman Catholic church and the establishment of the Protestant Church of England, during the English Reformation, affected all aspects of English life. Bringing together a collection of sources, including narratives, reports, church documents and parliamentary proceedings, Religion and Society in Early Modern England charts the transformation of English religious culture from the 1530s to the 1660s." "The second edition of this successful sourcebook has been revised throughout to take account of the latest research in the field and n number of sources and illustrations have been included for the first time. New introductions to each section have also been added, helping to make each source accessible by setting it in context." "Religion & Society in Early Modern England is an indispensable resource for all students studying this important and complex period in English history."--Jacket
