Sermons at Court: Politics and Religion in Elizabethan and Jacobean Preaching (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521022057)

This book describes preaching at the royal courts during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I (1558-1625) and reconstructs the contexts--architectural, religious, political--in which the sermons were preached. The author shows how previous work has underestimated the place of religion at court, presents new evidence of the competing royal religious patronage, and reconceptualizes the careers of preachers such as Andrewes, Donne and Laud. The book is accompanied by a definitive calendar of court sermons for the period on diskette.
