This interdisciplinary volume of essays brings together a team of
leading early modern historians and literary scholars in order to
examine the changing conceptions, character, and condemnation of
'heresy' in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. Definitions
of 'heresy' and 'heretics' were the subject of heated controversies
in England from the English Reformation to the end of the
seventeenth century. These essays illuminate the significant
literary issues involved in both defending and demonising heretical
beliefs, including the contested hermeneutic strategies applied to
the interpretation of the Bible, and they examine how debates over
heresy stimulated the increasing articulation of arguments for
religious toleration in England. Offering fresh perspectives on
John Milton, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and others, this volume
should be of interest to all literary, religious and political
historians working on early modern English culture.
