The religious revolution known as the 'Reformation' must rank among
the most crucial and transforming events in English history. Yet
its original reception by the English people remains largely
obscure. Did they welcome the innovations - or did they resist? By
what internal motivations were their responses determined? And by
what external influences were their attitudes shaped? These are the
key issues explored by Robert Whiting in this major investigation,
based primarily on original research in the south-west. Dr
Whiting's controversial conclusion is that for most of the
population the Reformation was less a conversion from Catholicism
to Protestantism than a transition from religious commitment to
religious passivity or even indifference.
