Recent research has begun to highlight the importance of German
arguments about legitimate resistance and self-defence for French,
English and Scottish Protestants. This book systematically studies
the reception of German thought in England, arguing that it played
a much greater role than has hitherto been acknowledged. Both the
Marian exiles, and others concerned with the fate of continental
Protestantism, eagerly read what German reformers had to say about
the possibility of resisting the religious policies of a monarch
without compromising the institution of monarchy itself. However,
the transfer of German arguments to England, with its individual
political and constitutional environment, necessarily involved the
subtle transformation of these arguments into forms compatible with
local traditions. In this way, German arguments contributed
significantly to the emergence of new theories, emphasising natural
rights.
