Reviews

'Recommended...' Choice 'The essays presented engage with what Glenn Burgess calls one of the most stubborn of historiographical puzzles with exceptional clarity, showing the intricate and shifting ways in which religion and politics interacted.' Seventeenth-century News 'According to their chosen specifications the [editors] have produced a fine volume and one which very significantly advances the subject.' The Journal of Ecclesiastical History '... Morrill takes the opportunity to spur another debate by reminding his readers that these were not simply England's wars of religion, but the whole of Britain and Ireland too. This is not a new argument from Morrill, but is one that too few historians have yet chosen to take on board.' H-Albion 'This valuable volume concludes with Morrill's own reflections on each essay, in which he displays his characteristic shrewdness, generosity and honesty.' English Historical Review
