The Reception of Continental Reformation in Britain

This volume brings together reformation and reception studies by exploring the relationship between reformations on the European continent and in Britain. It sheds new light on familiar associations, draws attention to under-explored relationships, and identifies how British reception in turn contributed to continued reform on the continent.

The chapters address different aspects of reception from biblical translation and book history to popular politics and theological polemic. The volume also prompts further questions regarding British integration and the perception (and invention) of England's `exceptional' status.
