Religious Culture of Marian England

Loades explores England's religious culture during the reign of Mary Tudor. He investigates how conflicting traditions of conformity and dissent negotiated the new spiritual, political and legal landscape which followed her reintroduction of Catholicism to England. Overall the clergy and laity remained largely acquiescent. Loades investigates religious practices in the high church and the parishes to give us a richer understanding of this habit of obedience.
