Church and People in Interregnum Britain

By: McCall, Fiona

Book Overview

In 1645, as the First Civil War approached its end, a second Reformation took place which created profound dislocations in religion and in British society. The Church was disestablished, and historians continue to debate the extent of the social disruption that resulted, and the impact of godly puritan practices being promoted in parish churches and everyday life. With an introduction from Professor Bernard Capp, pre-eminent social historian of the period, this collection of essays assesses interregnum religious practice at ground level, based on a sophisticated understanding of the complex and unique pattern of record-keeping and survival from the period.
