Reviews

“In this attractive and persuasive volume, Jane Platt seeks to redress the balance and to reclaim this literature as worthy of scholarly attention. … These voices from Anglicanism in the parishes deserve to be heard, and this volume is to be applauded for bringing such a rich archival source back on to the scholarly agenda.” (Andrew Atherstone, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 68 (1), January, 2017)
