Reformation to Revolution

This volume offers a full introduction to the complex historiographical debates currently raging about politics and religion in early modern England.

It draws together thirteen articles culled from familiar and also less accessible sources

These carefully edited and introduced essays draw on the new evidence of newsletters and ballads and ritual, as well as the more traditional sources, to offer a new and broader understanding of this transformative era of English history.
