Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an unparalleled examination of a period of social and religious upheaval in England. It chronicles Archbishop Whitgiftâs rigorous enforcement of Puritan conformity during the reigns of Elizabeth and James I. His actions placed him in the center of a decades-long struggle between the Church of England and the puritans, with both sides vying for influence over the cultural and political life of England. The text provides readers with a deeply researched account of this conflict and its significant impact on English history and the development of religious tolerance within the nation.
