Westminster Abbey Reformed : 1540–1640 Hardback
by C.S. Knighton, Richard Mortimer
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Hardback
Description
Title first published in 2003. Westminster Abbey occupies a unique position in the religious and royal landscape of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth.
As the scene of coronations and other great public occasions, it has been the continuing focus of the nation's religious life for half the Christian era.
Yet the building itself would not have survived the upheavals of the Protestant Reformation had the institution running it not been itself 'reformed' from monastery into collegiate church.
These nine studies discuss ways in which Westminster's new corporate structure evolved in the first century of its existence, and look at some of the personalities who played a part in that process.
New research, much of it in the Abbey's own rich archive, opens up previously unseen views of this great church's internal affairs, its relationship with the Crown, and its place in its own locality.
