'This outstanding collection proves quite how essential the study of memory is for understanding religious history. Showcasing a rich variety of new ways to study the memory-making of the English Reformation, it will be a source of methodological and conceptual inspiration to all students of early modern memory and temporality.' Judith Pollmann, Leiden University 'In reconceptualizing the English Reformation from a single eruptive event to a protracted religious revolution of ongoing struggle and negotiation, this volume reassesses the nation's devotional, liturgical, and monumental artefacts and practices, thereby setting for years to come the scholarly terms and parameters for understanding Protestant and Catholic interactions.' Grant Williams, Carleton University '... offers insights into the way in which the process of reform merged with memories of it, and bled into historical treatments, with influences on historiography lasting to the present day.' Jacqueline Rose, Cercles 'Scholarly interest in the social and cultural construction of memory has never been higher, ... Memory and the Reformation is a remarkable collection of essays that does exactly what it sets out to do-show the reader how memory has been repudiated, rehabilitated, valorized, and memorialized, intellectually and materially.' Autumn Reinhardt-Simpson, Reading Religion
