Publisher's Synopsis
"Reformation" is an English-language journal for the publication of original research in scholarship of the Reformation era. It is published annually under the aegis of the Tyndale Society.;Volume 6 of the journal presents a wide-ranging series of essays that help to illuminate the many aspects of the Reformation and its impact in Europe and beyond. Issues extend from the polemical debates over the course of the Reformation in the reigns of Henry, Edward and Mary, to early modern witchcraft; from the depictions of martyrdom to the workings of a Jacobean Catholic household in Yorkshire. An expanded section collects together essays that debate the representation of the sacraments in the poetry of Edmund Spenser, and so attempt to shed light on the religious beliefs of a major literary figure.;The volume concludes with a full guide to recent publications in the field. This covers areas such as the representation of the body after the Reformation, women, pilgrimage and hagiography in the later Middle Ages and the nature of historical analysis in the early modern period.
