Description

Charity and Lay Piety in Reformation London, 1500-1620 explores how the English Protestant Reformation was a reflection of genuine popular piety, as opposed to a political necessity imposed by the country's rulers. Through the prism of charity and lay piety, as expressed in the wills and testaments taken from selected London parishes, it charts the shifting religious ideas about salvation and the nature and causes of poverty in early modern London and England over a 120 year period. Studying the evolution of lay piety through the long stretch of the period 1500 to 1620, Claire Schen unites pre-Reformation England with that which followed, helping us understand how 'Reformations' or a 'Long Reformation' happened in London.
