In the period between 1575 and 1625, civic peace in England,
Scotland, and Ireland was persistently threatened by various kinds
of religiously inspired violence, involving conspiracies,
rebellions, and foreign invasions. Religious divisions divided
local communities in all three kingdoms, but they also impacted
relations between the nations, and in the broader European
continent. The challenges posed by actual or potential religious
violence gave rise to complex responses, including efforts to
impose religious uniformity through preaching campaigns and
regulation of national churches; an expanded use of the press as a
medium of religious and political propaganda; improved government
surveillance; the selective incarceration of English, Scottish, and
Irish Catholics; and a variety of diplomatic and military
initiatives, undertaken not only by royal governments but also by
private individuals. The result was the development of more robust
and resilient, although still vulnerable, states in all three
kingdoms and, after the dynastic union of Britain in 1603, an
effort to create a single state incorporating all of them. R.
Malcolm Smuts traces the story of how this happened by moving
beyond frameworks of national and institutional history, to
understand the ebb and flow of events and processes of religious
and political change across frontiers. The study pays close
attention to interactions between the political, cultural,
intellectual, ecclesiastical, military, and diplomatic dimensions
of its subject. A final chapter explores how and why provisional
solutions to the problem of violent, religiously inflected conflict
collapsed in the reign of Charles I.
