Publisher's Synopsis
""The History of the Later Puritans"" by John Marsden is a comprehensive account of the Puritan movement in England during one of its most tumultuous periods, from the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642 to the ejection of non-conforming clergy in 1662. Marsden, a respected historian of early modern England, traces the evolution of Puritanism during this time, exploring its various factions, leaders, and controversies. He examines the role of Puritanism in the Civil War and the Commonwealth, the debates over church government and worship, and the persecution of dissenters under the Restoration. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including diaries, letters, and sermons, Marsden provides a richly detailed and nuanced portrait of this important period in English religious and political history. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of early modern England, as well as to anyone interested in the history of Protestantism, religious dissent, and political upheaval.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
