Publisher's Synopsis
""The Life And Times Of William Laud V1: Lord Archbishop Of Canterbury"" is a biographical book written by John Parker Lawson that focuses on the life and career of William Laud, who served as the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1633 to 1645. The book provides an in-depth look at Laud's upbringing, education, and rise to power within the Church of England, as well as his controversial tenure as Archbishop during a tumultuous period in English history. The author explores Laud's attempts to enforce conformity to the Church's practices and beliefs, which led to accusations of tyranny and ultimately his downfall. The book is based on extensive research and primary sources, including Laud's own writings and letters, and provides a detailed account of one of the most influential figures in English religious history. This is the first volume in a two-part series, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Church of England, the English Civil War, or the political and religious struggles of the 17th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
