Drawing primarily from Suffolk sources, this book explores the
development and place of Protestantism in early modern society,
defined as much in terms of its practice in local communities as in
its more public pronouncements from those in authority. Using
detailed analysis of four communities, Mildenhall, Bury St Edmunds,
Thetford and Hadleigh, John Craig explores the responses and
initiatives of these towns to the question of the Reformation in
the 16th century. A fascinating picture emerges of the
preoccupations and priorities of particular groups. The political
goals and consciousness of townsmen and tradesmen are examined, and
the problems of analyzing the evidence for ascribing religious
motivations to urban factions are highlighted. The case of Hadleigh
addresses some aspects of the connection often made between the
growth of Protestantism and the incidence of social division and
conflict. These local studies provide the basis for a broader
perspective on urban reformation in East Anglia.
