THE ELIZABETHAN REFORMATION

Seminar Tutor: Adam Morton, Room 317. Tel 024 76 523452 email Adam.Morton@warwick.ac.ukSeminar times: Friday 1.00-3.00

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:

This Special Subject explores the impact and significance of religious developments in England in the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), with the aim of showing how they transformed society, culture and politics at both national and local levels. It was during these decades that England finally became a ‘Protestant country’, though the process was controversial and unstable, producing dissent and rebellion, as well as a fair degree of de facto pluralism and some qualified toleration of difference.

Students will be expected to engage with the legal, liturgical and doctrinal aspects of this transformation, but also to assess it as a process of cultural transition, involving accommodation and negotiation between rulers and ruled, and between neighbours. The recent historiography of the Elizabethan Reformation (and of its sub-fields like Puritanism and Catholicism) has been particularly lively and contentious, and as the module develops, students will increasingly familiarize themselves with this literature, and demonstrate a capacity to assess it critically.

Students will also be introduced to a range of different types of primary source - literary and polemical texts, administrative records of church and state, private letters and memoirs - which students will learn to interrogate and contextualize effectively. It is expected that the majority of the students on the module will deploy the skills and knowledge acquired in the researching and writing of a dissertation linked to the themes of the module.

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES:

a sound knowledge of the main events and themes of the Elizabethan Reformation an understanding of historiographical developments and debates, and an ability critically

to assess them enhanced presentational and debating skills confidence in the techniques of independent research and study, including the evaluation

and deployment of primary source materials use of information technology in research and learning

Introductory / General Reading

There is no ‘set text’ for this module, but there are a number of general works dealing with religion and the Reformation in the later part of the sixteenth century which will often provide useful context and orientation, and a pathway into the more specialist reading on individual topics.
