Saints, Sacrilege and Sedition by Eamon Duffy
Professor Eamon Duffy explores the broad sweep of the English Reformation, and the ways in which that Reformation has been written about, remembered and retold.
This book is a collection of essays on various aspects of early modern English religion which Duffy has written over the past fifteen years, complemented by a few previously unpublished piecesCollections like that can be annoyingly miscellaneous, but here the stronger impression is of the unity of his body of work. A series of strong, consistent ideas emerges. Nobody who knows Duffy’s robust approach to the Reformation will be surprised by anything that is here, but they will still find it worth reading. -- Alec Ryrie, Durham University * Theology *
There is something compelling and even thrilling about Duffy's combination of cutting-edge historical scholarship and effortless prose. -- Peter Stanford * The Independent *
