In the decades leading into the civil war and the execution of their monarch, English writers explored the experience of a Protestant life of holiness, looking at it in terms of heroic endeavours, worship, the social order, and the cosmos. Barbour examines sermons and theological treatises to argue that Caroline religious culture comprises a rich and extensive stocktaking of the conditions in which Protestantism was celebrated, undercut, and experienced. Barbour argues that this stocktaking was also carried out in unusual and sometimes quite secular contexts; in the masques, plays and poetry of the era as well as in scientific works and diaries. This broad-ranging study offers an extensive appraisal of crucial seventeenth-century themes, and will be of interest to historians as well as literary scholars of the period.English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismChristianity and literatureEnglandHistory17th centuryReligion and literatureEnglandHistory17th centuryProtestantism and literatureHistory17th centuryGreat BritainHistoryCharles I, 1625-1649EnglandIntellectual life17th centuryEnglandChurch history17th centuryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Christianity and literatureHistoryReligion and literatureHistoryProtestantism and literatureHistory820.9/3823Barbour Reid1594973MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828949103321Literature and religious culture in seventeenth-century England4094047UNINA
