DescriptionTravesties and Transgressions in Tudor and Stuart England: Tales of Discord and Dissension Hardcover – January 20, 2000 by David Cressy (Author {Bindaredundat}  Product Details Hardcover: 351 pages Publisher: Oxford University Press; 1 edition (January 20, 2000) Language: English ISBN-10: 0198207816 ISBN-13: 978-0198207818 Hardcover: $155.00  Cressy examines how the orderly, Protestant, and hierarchical society of post-Reformation England coped with the cultural challenges posed by beliefs and events outside the social norm. Drawing on local texts and narratives he reveals how a series of troubling and unorthodox happenings--bestiality and monstrous births, seduction and abortion, nakedness and cross-dressing, excommunication and irregular burial, iconoclasm and vandalism--disturbed the margins, cut across the grain, and set the authorities on edge. Review "Cressy's endnotes are copious and his writing is exemplary, both erudite and fun to read. [This book] deserves the highest praise and placement on the bookshelves of anyone interested in Tudor-Stuart society."- History  Sharing Widget |
