This book explores religious change in Elizabethan England through the eyes of Edwin Sandys, Bishop of Worcester, London and Archbishop of York. It shows the impact of exile on the nature of Elizabethan religion alongside Sandys’ pursuit of Catholic enemies and opposition to Presbyterian ideas.
This book examines the complexities of reformed religion in early-modern England, through an examination of the experiences of Edwin Sandys, a prominent member of the Elizabethan Church hierarchy. Sandys was an ardent evangelical in the Edwardian era forced into exile under Mary I, but on his return to England he became a leader of the Elizabethan Church. He was Bishop of Worcester and London and finally Archbishop of York. His transformation from Edwardian radical to a defender of the Elizabethan status quo illustrated the changing role of the Protestant hierarchy. His fight against Catholicism dominated much of his actions, but his irascible personality also saw him embroiled in numerous conflicts and left him needing to defend his own status.
