Their emphasis upon liturgical renewal and development, like their emphases upon learning and piety, have each had a pervasive influence on the Anglican ethos that extends down to our own day. The Beauty of Holiness includes selections from key figures such as Lancelot Andrewes, William Laud, John Cosin, George Herbert and Jeremy Taylor, but also expands the canon of Caroline divinity to include lay writings, especially by women, many of which were published posthumously.
