Cambridge University Press Dissltn Religs Ords Irlnd
Book SynopsisFather Bradshaw examines the dissolution of the religious orders in Ireland as an episode of Irish ecclesiastical and political history, and of the English Reformation. He also analyses its relationship to Henry VIII's Irish policy as a whole and to the beginnings of English colonialism. He discusses in detail the state of the religious orders on the eve of suppression, the extent of opposition to the implementation of the suppression policy in all its stages, the secularisation of monastic lands and the results of dissolution for Irish society and for subsequent Irish history. Despite the sensitive issues involved, Catholic, Protestant and academic historians have shown remarkable unanimity in the interpretation of the episode of the dissolution in Ireland. A thorough knowledge of both primary and secondary sources enables Father Bradshaw to challenge many of the conventional assumptions.Table of Contents1. The religious orders in Ireland on the eve of suppression; 2. The evolution of the suppression policy; 3. The suppression and parliamentary opposition; 4. The first suppression campaign; 5. Transition and anticipation; 6. The beginning of the end; 7. The campaign for total suppression, 1539–40; 8. The campaign in the isolated crown territories; 9. The campaign in the sovereign territories; 10. The process of secularisation; 11. Survival and the counter-reformation; 12. Aftermath.

Cambridge University Press London and the Restoration 1659 1683
Book SynopsisLondon and the Restoration integrates the history of the kingdom with that of its premier locality in the era of Dryden and Locke.Trade Review"Good things are worth waiting for…Gary De Krey's new study certainly proves that old adage…De Krey writes lucidly, deftly combining narrative with analysis to produce both clarity of exposition and depth of interpretive insight." -H-Albion"Much of the work consists of a rich and lively narrative of civic politics and its interaction with national poitics throughout the period. Its account of the events of the winter of 1659-60, focused on the actions of London's civic leaders, provides a welcome new perspective which helps to suggest how the actions of General Monck, so often regarded as the skillfully enigmatic architect of the Restoration of Charles II, are perhaps more accurately to be seen as an uncertain response to the changing balance of power in the capital." -Paul Seawadr, History of Parliament, London, The Catholic Historical Review"De Krey's book is a timely reminder of the insights to be gained from placing the capital under the microscope: it emphasizes the impact of the metropolis on the wider polity, and it allows sharper definition of the issues that led to conflict...Historians of the Restoration...will be profoundly grateful for the careful presentation of topographical and prosopographical data on the first Whigs and Tories and over two hundred early dissenting leaders." -George Southcombe, University of Oxford, Journal of Modern History"This book provides the essential details necessary to a clear understanding of precisely how much a dynamic functioned, and it does so with extraordinary focus, precision, and lucidity of organization and style...it offers a number of new insights into the larger political currents that marked the history of the period. De Krey's groundbreaking work marks an important step forward for Restoration historiography, and it will no doubt take its place among the leading scholarly investigations of this fascinating phase in England's political development." --Renaissance QuarterlyTable of ContentsList of figures; Map; List of tables; Preface; List of abbreviations; Part I.

Cambridge University Press Humanism Reform and the Reformation The Career of Bishop John Fisher
Book SynopsisThis book assembles ten special studies, each devoted to an aspect of Fisher's multifaceted career or to exploring the intellectual and religious outlook of someone who was at the same time a moderniser, a reformer and an opponent of the Reformation. John Fisher's career provides an illuminating perspective on English religious and intellectual history in a crucial phase of development. As a churchman he became the foremost preacher in England, issuing a call to ecclesiastical reform and personal repentance that echoed the call of Savonarola at Florence. At the same time he provides an early example of the pastoral bishop that was to become the ideal of both the Reformation and the Counter Reformation. Finally in the crisis that paved the way for the English Reformation, he became the leading defender of Queen Catherine against the divorce suit of Henry VIII. He was among the small band who were executed in 1535 as conscientious objectors to the oaths of Succession and Royal EcclesiasTable of ContentsPreface; List of abbreviations; 1.

Cambridge University Press Religion Reform and Womens Writing in Early Modern England
Book SynopsisLong considered marginal in early modern culture, women writers were actually central to the development of a Protestant literary tradition in England, Kimberly Anne Coles argues. This book is full of prevalent material and fresh analysis for scholars of early modern literature, culture and religious history.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Coles's innovative arguments are forcefully articulated and developed with attention to a variety of forms of evidence ranging from close reading of passages to analysis of publication histories. This book represents an important addition to a by now well-established scholarly conversation concerning early modern women's writings.' Nancy Bradley Warren, The Journal of British StudiesReview of the hardback: 'This book will certainly stimulate discussion in the years to come, for it not only offers compelling interpretations of individual texts, but it also asks us to take another look at the enormously complex development of religious poetry and the role that women played in sorting out cultural cross-currents.' Micheline White, ReformationReview of the hardback: 'Coles's willingness to make bold arguments for the cultural significance of women's writing is a welcome advancement of the field.' Erica Longfellow, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature'… this is a fine piece of research that is compellingly argued and genuinely sheds new light on our understanding of early modern women's writing and its influence.'
