Product Review
"This book is an original, provocative, and persuasive analysis of the character of the Church of England in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries." Sewanee Theological Review
"This is an ambitious and intelligent study, which raises important questions about the `bedding-down' of the English Reformation, and the formation of confessional identities between the accession of Elizabeth and the outbreak of civil war." Peter Marshall, 16th Century Journal
"This book is an original, provocative, and persuasive analysis of the character of the Church of England in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. In reading her book, Episcopalians will rediscover some of the reasons that The Book of Common Prayer in its many editions and revisions has been and continues to be so important to the life of the Episcopal Church and to the Anglican Communion." Sewanee Theological Review
"Maltby's exploration of the evidence for 'prayer book Protestants' between 1560 and 1640 is an important and welcome discussion." Catholic Historical Review
Product Description
This book explores the culture of conformity to the Church of England and its liturgy in the period after the Reformation and before the outbreak of the Civil War. It provides a necessary corrective to our view of religion in that period through a serious exploration of the laypeople who conformed, out of conviction, to the Book of Common Prayer. These "prayer book Protestants" formed a significant part of the spectrum of society in Tudor and Stuart England, yet until now they have remained an almost completely uninvestigated group.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Prayer Book and People in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England (Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History) (Paperback)
Absolutely an exceptional historical work which demonstrates that the faith of the people during the historical periods in question were dedicated to prayer book worship and very much represents a correction to certain typical renderings of this period that would lay more stress on nonconformist or puritan patterns of worship and emphases.
