The first general study of different attitudes to conformity and
the political and cultural significance of the resulting consensus
on what came to be regarded as orthodox. The different ways in
which people expressed `conformity' or `nonconformity' to the 1559
settlement of religion in the English church have generally been
treated separately by historians: Catholic recusancy and occasional
conformity; Protestant ministerial subscription to the canons and
articles of the Church of England; the innovations made by
avant-garde conformist clerics to the early Stuart Church; and
conformist support for the prayer book in the 1640s. This is the
first book to look across the board at what was politically
important about conformity, aiming to assess how different
attitudes to conformity affected what was regarded as orthodox or
true religion in the English Church: that is, the political and
cultural significance of the ways in which one could obey or
disobey the law governing the Church. The introduction places the
articles in the context of the recent historiography of the late
Tudor and early Stuart Church. PETER LAKE is Professor of History,
Princeton University; MICHAEL QUESTIER is Senior Research Fellow,
St Mary's Strawberry Hill. Contributors: ALEXANDRA WALSHAM, MICHAEL
QUESTIER, PAULINE CROFT, KENNETH FINCHAM, THOMAS FREEMAN, PETER
