Contesting Orthodoxies in the History of Christianity
Broken Idols of the English Reformation, by Margaret Aston
It is a brave historian who, when presenting a major research monograph, commits in print to the promise of a second volume to complete the study of a theme. This is precisely what Margaret Aston did when publishing her study of iconoclasm, England’s Iconoclasts, Volume 1: Laws Against Images, in 1988 (rev. ante, cv [1990], 401–3). That first book was a remarkably influential study of the attack on images in the Reformation, and has become the de…
Shakespeare and Early Modern Religion
Written by an international team of literary scholars and historians, this collaborative volume illuminates the diversity of early modern religious beliefs and practices in Shakespeare's England, and considers how religious culture is imaginatively reanimated in Shakespeare's plays. Fourteen new essays explore the creative ways Shakespeare engaged with the multifaceted dimensions of Protestantism, Catholicism, non-Christian religions including Ju…

Holinshed’s Nation: Ideals, Memory and Practical Policy in the Chronicles, by Igor Djordjevic
Time was when Holinshed’s Chronicles were thought valuable only as a source-mine for Shakespeare and as the prime exhibit of the capacious and baggy mindlessness of the sixteenth-century chronicling tradition. But in recent years there has been a growing recognition that the two great editions of 1577 and 1587 should be studied more systematically in their own right. Literary scholars have joined with historians in demonstrating that the volumes …
The Oxford Handbook of Holinshed's Chronicles
The Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1577, 1587), issued under the name of Raphael Holinshed, was the crowning achievement of Tudor historiography, and became the principal source for the historical writings of Spenser, Daniel and, above all, Shakespeare. While scholars have long been drawn to Holinshed for its qualities as a source, they typically dismissed it as a baggy collection of materials, lacking coherent form and analytical …

Of Prelates and Princes: A Study of the Economic and Social Position of the Tudor Episcopate
Food Gifts, the Household and the Politics of Exchange in Early Modern England
Shakespeare was intrigued by gifts and their consequences. So it is not surprising that in Richard III he develops an incident described in Thomas More's text of the same name. In the play, Shakespeare has Richard (then Lord Protector) storm into a meeting at which the duke of Buckingham, Lord Hastings, John Morton bishop of Ely, and others are present. Hastings is about to become a spectacular victim of Richard's plot to seize the throne. But be…

Appropriating History: Catholic and Protestant Polemics and the National Past
Felicity Heal examines the ways in which Catholic and Protestant controversialists in the second and third generations of the English Reformation used both universal history and the specific history of the British nation to demonstrate the truth of their causes. To reclaim the past, especially important after the Elizabethan Settlement, was to prove legitimacy, second only to the authority of Scripture itself. On the Protestant side, Matthew Park…
Mediating the Word: Language and Dialects in the British and Irish Reformations
Translating the Scriptures into the vernacular was a primary concern of Protestant reformers. This led to worries about the precise language-form in which they should be made accessible to lay folk. This article situates such evangelical debates within contemporary understanding of the nature and role of native tongues. Tudor and Stuart governments sometimes saw English as a tool of political control; humanists questioned the ‘copiousness’ of the…
What can King Lucius do for you? The Reformation and the Early British Church
Protestant apologetics had to counter the challenge of Catholic writers that their churches lacked proper historical foundations. In England the second generation of reformers, in particular, sought to establish the legitimacy of their Church partly by a return to origins, to the earliest periods of conversion, and to appropriate the foundation stories for their own faith. Their debates with Catholic authors ranged over the period from the suppos…

Reformation in Britain and Ireland
The book integrates analysis of religious change during the sixteenth century in the four countries (three kingdoms) of the British Isles. Interaction between these realms is essential to understanding the history of religious reform within each territory. The pre-Reformation Catholic Church is discussed, as is popular religious belief and behaviour. The Reformation is considered as a political change, involving the choices of monarchs and their …

The Bishops and the Act of Exchange of 1559
It is well known that the Tudor monarchs exerted highly effective control over the financial resources of the English Church, particularly in the years after the Henrician Reformation. So marked a feature of the sixteenth century were the demands which the Crown, followed by the rest of the leading laity, made upon the Church in order to gain easy profit, that the period has on occasions been characterized as the ‘ age of plunder ’ The dissolutio…

Seymour was warmly received by the archbishop in his chamber and a meal was pressed upon him; then he…

The Tudors and Church Lands: Economic Problems of the Bishopric of Ely during the Sixteenth Century
The Family of Love and the diocese of Ely
Few of the major heretical movements of continental Europe have found permanent homes in England. One of the periods when it seemed most likely that they might do so was the years between the Henrician reformation and the growth of native separatism towards the end of the sixteenth century. The persecution of continental anabaptists, sectaries and spiritualists in their native lands forced many of them into exile in England; an exile which they o…
