Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in
the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new
book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and
rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration
of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass
windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images
of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down
crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that
destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution
designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the
long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls
and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes
of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the
treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican
ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.
