The dramatic religious revolutions of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries involved a battle over social memory. On one side, the
Reformation repudiated key aspects of medieval commemorative
culture; on the other, traditional religion claimed that
Protestantism was a religion without memory. This volume shows how
religious memory was sometimes attacked and extinguished, while at
other times rehabilitated in a modified guise. It investigates how
new modes of memorialisation were embodied in texts, material
objects, images, physical buildings, rituals, and bodily gestures.
Attentive to the roles played by denial, amnesia, and fabrication,
it also considers the retrospective processes by which the English
Reformation became identified as an historic event. Examining
dissident as well as official versions of this story, this richly
illustrated, interdisciplinary collection traces how memory of the
religious revolution evolved in the two centuries following the
Henrician schism, and how the Reformation embedded itself in the
early modern cultural imagination.
