Reading and politics in early modern England

Politics, culture and society in early modern Britain

General editors

PROFESSOR ANN HUGHES

PROFESSOR ANTHONY MILTON

PROFESSOR PETER LAKE

This important series publishes monographs that take a fresh and challenging look at the interactions between politics, culture and society in Britain between 1500 and the mid-eighteenth century. It counteracts the fragmentation of current historiography through encouraging a variety of approaches which attempt to redefine the political, social and cultural worlds, and to explore their interconnection in a flexible and creative fashion. All the volumes in the series question and transcend traditional interdisciplinary boundaries, such as those between political history and literary studies, social history and divinity, urban history and anthropology. They thus contribute to a broader understanding of crucial developments in early modern Britain.

Completion of this book has been made possible by an AHRC doctoral award, as well as support for research trips from Keele University and short-term research fellowships from the Folger Shakespeare Institute and the Henry E. Huntington Library.

My greatest debt is to Ann Hughes. This project began life as a PhD thesis that Ann supervised, following which, as one of the editors of the monograph series in which this volume appears, she continued to provide insightful comments. Working with Ann has been a thoroughly positive experience (at least for me) and what material of value appears in these pages could not have been completed were it not for her expert guidance. The time and effort Ann has put into developing this project and the writer has gone far beyond the call of duty and I am for ever indebted to her.

While working on this book I have been fortunate to have illuminating discussions and/or been given access to vital materials by the following: Susannah Abbott, David Appleby, Bill Bulman, Richard Cust, Alan Ford, Gabriel Glickman, Andrew Gritt, Christopher Harrison, John Langton, Ann McGruer, Gary Mills, Philip Morgan, Geoffrey Scott, Jonathan Scott, and Maurice Whitehead. Peter Lake first suggested late seventeenth-century Catholicism as a research topic and invited me to present a paper on the subject at Princeton University. Kevin Sharpe and Jim McLaverty examined the thesis upon which this book is based and offered valuable comments about developing it for publication. Ian Atherton has fielded countless questions about early modern religious history with characteristic good humour and provided vital support. Throughout the completion of this project Michael Questier has been unfailingly generous, offering discussion and access to unpublished material, which has informed many of the arguments developed here. Finally, the Centre for Integrative Learning in the University of Nottingham has been a refuge during much of my work on this project, and I am particularly grateful for the support of the senior leadership team: Maggie Ambrose, Martin Binks, Alan Booth and Angela Smallwood.
