This innovative study explores the history of Puritanism and the
history of reading in the long seventeenth century. Drawing on a
wide range of significant but understudied source materials, it
seeks to advance our understanding of Puritan or 'godly' culture by
examining the place of reading within that culture between c.1580
and 1720. In contrast to long-standing claims about the connections
between advanced Protestantism and emergent individualism and
interiority, the book demonstrates the importance of communal and
public forms of reading in the practice of godly piety. Andrew
Cambers employs a novel framework, based around the spaces and
places of early modern reading, to offer a revised understanding of
the nature of Puritanism and of the practice and representation of
reading during the period. Moving beyond existing interpretations,
Godly Reading opens up fresh discussions and debates about the
nature of early modern reading and religion.
