Opis

This is the first study of the full range of Protestant publications from the Reformation to the start of the Evangelical Revival. Based on a sample of over seven hundred best-selling titles of the period, it demonstrates a rapid diversification of the religious works printed and of the readerships at which they were targeted by canny publishers, and also highlights the growing variety of "Protestantisms" then on offer.

Recenzje

The book is a mass of information ... I would hazard that no other historian has an encyclopaedic a knowledge of printed English religious literature as Green has for this lengthy period.
