How the English Reformation was Named analyses the shifting
semantics of 'reformation' in England between the fifteenth and
seventeenth centuries. Originally denoting the intended aim of
church councils, 'reformation' was subsequently redefined to denote
violent revolt, and ultimately a series of past episodes in
religious history. But despite referring to sixteenth-century
religious change, the proper noun 'English Reformation' entered the
historical lexicon only during the British civil wars of the 1640s.
Anglican apologists coined this term to defend the Church of
England against proponents of the Scottish Reformation, an event
that contemporaries singled out for its violence and illegality.
Using their neologism to denote select events from the mid-Tudor
era, Anglicans crafted a historical narrative that enabled them to
present a pristine vision of the English past, one that endeavoured
to preserve amidst civil war, regicide, and political oppression.
With the restoration of the monarchy and the Church of England in
1660, apologetic narrative became historiographical habit and,
eventually, historical certainty.
