Generations injects fresh energy into tired debates about England's
plural and protracted Reformations by adopting the fertile concept
of generation as its analytical framework. It demonstrates that the
tumultuous religious developments that stretched across the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries not merely transformed the
generations that experienced them, but were also forged and created
by them. The book investigates how age and ancestry were implicated
in the theological and cultural upheavals of the era and how these,
in turn, reconfigured the relationship between memory, history, and
time. It explores the manifold ways in which the Reformations
shaped the horizontal relationships that early modern people formed
with their siblings, kin, and peers, as well as the vertical ones
that tied them to their dead ancestors and their future heirs.
Generations highlights the vital part that families bound by blood
and by faith played in shaping these events, as well as in
mediating our knowledge of the religious past and in the making of
its archive. Drawing on a rich array of evidence, it provides
poignant glimpses into how people navigated the profound challenges
that the English Reformations posed in everyday life.
