{"product_id":"broken-idols-of-the-english-margaret-aston-9781108744201","title":"Broken Idols of the English Reformation","description":"Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Aston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108744206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108744201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 2.21d","brand":"Margaret Aston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993162907903,"sku":"9781108744201","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36b6f7de-e3bb-4e00-980a-16959f29591b.jpg?v=1683322857","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/broken-idols-of-the-english-margaret-aston-9781108744201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
