Publisher's Synopsis
""William Prynne: A Study in Puritanism"" is a biographical work that delves into the life and beliefs of William Prynne, a prominent figure in the Puritan movement of the 17th century. Written by Ethyn Williams Kirby, the book explores Prynne's upbringing, education, and early career as a lawyer before delving into his religious and political beliefs. Prynne's outspoken opposition to the Church of England and his support for the Puritan cause led to his imprisonment and eventual exile, and the book examines the impact of these experiences on his life and work. Kirby also explores Prynne's prolific writing career, which included works on theology, law, and politics, and his role in shaping the Puritan movement. Through a careful examination of Prynne's life and beliefs, ""William Prynne: A Study in Puritanism"" offers a comprehensive look at one of the most important figures in the history of the Puritan movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
