Who were early modern chaplains and what did they do? Chaplains are
well known to have been pivotal figures within early modern
England, their activities ranging from more conventionally
religious roles (conducting church services, offering spiritual
advice and instruction) to a surprisingly wide array of literary
functions (writing poetry, or acting as scribes and editors).
Chaplains in early modern England: Patronage, literature and
religion explores the important, but often neglected, contributions
made by chaplains of different kinds - royal, episcopal, noble,
gentry, diplomatic - to early modern English culture. Addressing a
period from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth centuries,
it focuses on chaplains from the Church of England, examining their
roles in church and politics, and within both domestic and cultural
life. It also shows how understanding the significance of chaplains
can illuminate wider cultural practices - patronage, religious life
and institutions, and literary production - in the early modern
period. -- .
