No one in eighteenth-century England thought that they were living during ‘the Enlightenment’; instead, they saw themselves as facing the religious, intellectual and political problems unleashed by the Reformation, which began in the sixteenth century. Moreover, they faced those problems in the aftermath of two bloody seventeenth-century political and religious revolutions. \u003ci\u003eReformation without end \u003c\/i\u003eexamines how the eighteenth-century English debated the causes and consequences of those revolutions and the thing they thought had caused them, the Reformation.
