Mark A Hutchinson

Calvinism, Reform and the Absolutist State in Elizabethan Ireland

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Despite the best efforts of the English government, Elizabethan Ireland remained resolutely Catholic. Hutchinson examines this à â Ë failureà â â of the Protestant Reformation. He argues that the emerging political concept of the absolutist state forms a crucial link between English policy in Ireland and the aims of the Calvinist reformers.
