Politics and the Paul's Cross Sermons, 1558-1642

Zusatztext Morrissey's achievement here is a substantial one ... Politics and the Paul's Cross Sermons contributes to our understanding of much more than the sermons series itself. It also brings to life the great religious controversies of the age. ... In short, this really is a must-read book for anybody interested in the literary, religious, or political cultures of early modern England; in early modern sermons; or, indeed, early modern London. We can only wait with keen anticipation to see what else Morrisey's ongoing researches into this area will uncover.
