Black Bartholomew's Day explores the religious, political and
cultural implications of a collision of highly-charged polemic
prompted by the mass ejection of Puritan ministers from the Church
of England in 1662. It is the first in-depth study of this heated
exchange, centres centring on the departing ministers' farewell
sermons. Many of these valedictions, delivered by hundreds of
dissenting preachers in the weeks before Bartholomew's Day, would
be illegally printed and widely distributed, provoking a furious
response from government officials, magistrates and bishops. Black
Bartholomew's Day re-interprets the political significance of
ostensibly moderate Puritan clergy, arguing that their preaching
posed a credible threat to the restored political order This book
is aimed at readers interested in historicism, religion,
nonconformity, print culture and the political potential of
preaching in Restoration England. -- .
