This volume of essays explores the rise of parliament in the
historical imagination of early modern England. The enduring
controversy about the nature of parliament informs nearly all
debates about the momentous religious, political and governmental
changes of the period - most significantly, the character of the
Reformation and the causes of the Revolution. Meanwhile, scholars
of ideas have emphasised the historicist turn that shaped political
culture. Religious and intellectual imperatives from the sixteenth
century onwards evoked a new interest in the evolution of
parliament, framing the ways that contemporaries interpreted,
legitimised and contested Church, state and political hierarchies.
Parliamentary 'history' is explored through the analysis of
chronicles, more overtly 'literary' texts, antiquarian scholarship,
religious polemic, political pamphlets, and of the intricate
processes that forge memory and tradition. -- .
