Education of a Christian Society: Humanism and the Reformation in Britain and the Netherlands FROM THE PUBLISHER
Throughout the sixteenth century, political and intellectual developments in Britain and the Netherlands were closely intertwined. At different times religious refugees from one or other country found a secure haven across the Channel, and a constant interchange of books, ideas and personnel underscored the affinity of lands which both made a painful progress towards Protestantism during the course of the century.. "This collection of ten new studies, all by specialists active in the field, explores the full ramifications of these links, from the first intellectual contacts inspired by the growth of Humanism to the planting of established Protestant churches.

Their topics include the piety of Henry VIII, the exile literature of the early Reformation, religious propaganda in Netherlandish prints and drawings, the Campbells and the Scottish Reformation, and the intellectual and cultural context of the Reformation in the northern Netherlands.
