First published in 1854, this is the first 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 1570 90,
and documents the long-running debate between the Puritans in the
University Senate, who sought to regulate forms of worship, and the
heads of colleges, who accepted the new University Statutes of
1570. It also reveals other areas of controversy including
religious tests on graduation, dress, and even public bathing.
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
Elizabethan period and its turbulent religious currents, and to
historians of education.
