Notions of religious conformity in England were redefined during the mid-seventeenth century; for many it was as though the previous century's reformation was being reversed. Lane considers how a select group of churchmen - the Laudians - reshaped the meaning of church conformity during a period of religious and political turmoil. He emphasizes the Laudians' use of history in their arguments, particularly their creative appeal to common sensibilities about the reign of Elizabeth I as a 'Golden Age'. This book assesses the way historical claims functioned within the discourse of religious and political legitimacy in early modern England.

Industry Reviews

'a novel and truly useful approach that is a welcome addition to studies of Laudianism and seventeenth-century English religion ... will prove fascinating to anyone interested in seventeenth-century England' American Historical Review 'Lane has provided rich pickings for all who work in this field, and has offered a stimulating and clear argument.' English Historical Review 'In this careful and incisive study of liturgical reform in the mid to late seventeenth-century Church of England, Lane examines the uses that Anglican divines made of Elizabethan precedents, and in so doing reveals a nostalgia for practices from an era that was both recent and yet quite remote.' Ralph Keen, University of Illinois at Chicago 'an interesting, illuminating and well-written book.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'Lane has produced a good study of religious conflict in early Stuart England, the appearance of Anglicanism, and the place of historical writing in religious controversy.' Sixteenth Century Journal
