Book Description
Texts expressing concerns and priorities of the church during the reign of Charles I. `Sets a standard of excellence which will gain the society a high reputation... Documents which have for much too long been inaccessible to ecclesiastical and social historians, and which they cannot afford to ignore.' JOURNAL OFECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY `An important sourcebook for research about early seventeenth-century religious and social history.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT [Following on from the highly-praised first volume of visitation articles, covering the years 1603-25] This selection of articles and injunctions issued by archbishops, bishops, archdeacons, and other ecclesiastical ordinaries in the early Stuart church concentrates on the church of Charles I, from his accession in 1625 to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642. The volume traces the impact of Laudian reforms as well as the defensive reaction of the Church hierarchy in 1641-2. The range of churchmanship included is broad, stretchingfrom the articles and injunctions of Laudian enthusiasts such as bishops Wren and Montagu to those issued by Calvinist episcopalians such as Hall and Thornborough. The introduction places these texts in their historical and historiographical contexts, and an appendix lists all surviving sets of visitation articles for the years 1603-1642. The volume will be a valuable work of reference for anyone interested in the government and ideals of the early Stuartchurch.

Religion and Society in Elizabethan Sussex
Author: Roger Burrow ManningPublisher: Burns & Oates
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
"The success or failure of a legislative programme ultimately depends upon the personnel and institutions of local government. This book is a study of the agents who exercised the powers of the royal supremacy in ecclesiastical affairs and of the institutions--civil and ecclesiastical--which were employed in the enforcement of the Elizabethan religious settlement in one particular county. Taking Sussex as a microcosm of Elizabethan society, the role of the bishop of Chichester and their episcopal courts, the lords lieutenant and the justices of the peace in enforcing the acts of supremacy and uniformity is examined in detail. The chief merit of the book is that it is the only work so far produced that examines all aspects of the enforcement of the religious settlement. Dr Manning has sought to determine just how successful the government of Elizabeth was in imposing religious uniformity and to what extent this was resisted by clerical Puritanism or by Roman Catholic recusancy among the gentry and nobility. This situation is explained in terms not only of religious influence but also of administrative, sociological and economic factors" -Publishers
