Richard Hooker has long been viewed as one of England's great
theological and political writers. When he died, however, at the
end of the sixteenth century, his writings had proved to be
something of a damp squib. This book examines, against the
background of the political and religious crises of the seventeenth
century, how he came to rise from comparative obscurity to be
regarded as a universal authority. It will be seen how an
unintended alliance of Reformed Protestants, suspicious of Hooker,
and Catholics, anxious to exploit his perceived sympathies, led to
his establishment as a distinctive, well-regarded English writer.
Whilst the boundaries of Hooker's comprehensiveness have expanded
and contracted in response to particular situations, the belief
that he is an important writer has remained remarkably constant
ever since.
