First published in 1998, this book presents an overview of some
recent debates on the history of religion in England from the
accession of James I to the outbreak of the Civil War. Darren
Oldridge rejects the polarisation of discussion on the meaning and
impact of Laudianism's innovations and the effects of the zealous
Puritans. Instead, the author draws them together to emphasise how
each directly influenced the other within a wider heightening of
religious tension. Two of its central themes are the impact of the
ecclesiastical policies of Charles I and the relationship between
puritanism and popular culture. These themes are developed in eight
related essays, which emphasize the connections between church
policy, puritanism and popular religion. The book draws on much
original research from the Midlands, as well as recent work by
other scholars in the field, to set out a new synthesis which
attempts to explain the emergence of religious conflict in the
decades before the English Civil War.
