Edwin Sandys and the Reform of English Religion
This book examines the complexities of reformed religion in early-modern England, through an examination of the experiences of Edwin Sandys, a prominent member of the Elizabethan Church hierarchy. Sandys was an ardent evangelical in the Edwardian era forced into exile under Mary I, but on his return to England he became a leader of the Elizabethan Church. He was Bishop of Worcester and London and finally Archbishop of York. His transformation from Edwardian radical to a defender of the Elizabethan status quo illustrated the changing role of the Protestant hierarchy. His fight against Catholicism dominated much of his actions, but his irascible personality also saw him embroiled in numerous conflicts and left him needing to defend his own status.

The Ferrar Papers
First published in 1938, this book presents a selection from the papers of Nicholas Ferrar (1592-1637), intended to provide a detailed illustration of 'the life and work of a saint of the Church of England'. The text keeps as much as possible to the spelling and punctuation of the original manuscripts and editorial notes are kept to a minimum. Illustrative figures and an introduction are included, together with a bibliography and genealogy. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the writings of Ferrar, Anglicanism and British history.
