First published in 1854, this is the second of a two-volume
collection of historical sources relating to the University of
Cambridge during the religious upheavals from the Elizabethan
period to the Restoration. This volume covers the period 1590 1661,
and documents the long-running debate between the Puritans in the
University Senate and their more liberal opponents. It also reveals
other areas of concern which still resonate today, including
smoking and the treatment of 'vagrants'. Letters and diary entries
provide additional insights into less contentious aspects of 'the
manners and pursuits of the University' at the time. The book will
be of interest to historians of the seventeenth century and its
turbulent religious currents, the English Civil War and its
aftermath, and to historians of education.
