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. 517 3 $aLiterature & Religious Culture in Seventeenth-Century England 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristianity and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aReligion and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aProtestantism and literature$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yCharles I, 1625-1649 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y17th century 607 $aEngland$xChurch history$y17th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and literature$xHistory 615 0$aProtestantism and literature$xHistory 676 $a820.9/3823 700 $aBarbour$b Reid$0930914 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455033203321 996 $aLiterature and religious culture in seventeenth-century England$92483347 997 $aUNINA
