The relationship between church and state, indeed between religion and politics, has been one of the most significant themes in early modern English history. While scores of specialized studies have greatly advanced scholars' understanding of particular aspects of this period, there is no general overview that takes into account current scholarship. This volume discharges that task. Solt seeks to provide the main contours of church-state connections in England from 1509 to 1640 through a selective narration of events interspersed with interpretive summaries. Since World War II, social and economic explanations have dominated the interpretation of events in Tudor and early Stuart England. While these explanations continue to be influential, religious and political explanations have once again come to the fore. Drawing extensively from both primary and secondary sources, Solt provides a scholarly synthesis that combines the findings of earlier research with the more recent
emphasis on the impact of religion on political events and vice versa.

Industry Reviews

'his book, besides providing a judicious narrative of the course of events in the period, also stands as testimony to developments within twentieth-century historiography ... His book will take a place in the literature as one of the few general surveys of the period, and as possibly the most accessible and authoritative.' Robert Eccleshall, Queen's University, Belfast, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Volume 43, No. 1, January 1992 'Solt provides an informed, well-organized, easily read synthesis based on a critical analysis of a wide selection of specialized historical accounts and a limited body of sources.' P. Christianson, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, American Historical Review, February 1992 'This is a sound, up-to-date summary of the secondary literature covering the whole course of the topic to which the title refers ... it will serve both teachers and students very well both as an introduction and a work of reference.' The Heythrop Journal, April 1993, Volume 34, Number 2 'The writing is systematic, the approach to secondary sources irenic an dthere is some pleasure in escaping from the endless Reformation debate about what the common man thought.' Felicity Heal. Jesus College, Oxford EHR Apr '94
