The collection demonstrates the centrality of religion to sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England, and its influence on early modern constructions of gender, subjectivity and nationhood., Essays by leading historians and literary scholars investigate the role of religion in shaping political, social and literary forms from the Reformation to the Civil Wars. The collection demonstrates the centrality of religion to early modern constructions of gender, subjectivity, and nationhood.
