Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. This book, the fifth in a series on places of worship in Britain and Ireland, contains 10 essays on a period of tumultuous change, in which a series of reformations, unique to each country in Britain and Ireland, saw the destruction of the medieval cultural legacy through iconoclasm and warfare. As religious beliefs and forms of service changed, so church interiors underwent radical transformations, with expensive ebbs and flows of creativity, destruction, and fresh creativity. |Many cathedrals and former monastic houses were either adapted to the new circumstances or demolished, and most new buildings tended towards classicalism and simplicity. An entirely new development was the advent of non-conformist congregations with their own spiritual needs and tastes, and the arrival of Jewish communities in the Commonwealth period. The period covered by this book finishes with the new government of William III and Mary II in 1689, which achieved a degree of political stability, permitting some religious toleration and diversity. The period also saw a flourishing of musical and literary culture, the King James Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, metrical psalms, and the emphasis on pulpit-based forms of worship centred on the sermon and the individual conscience. The contributors are Kenneth Fincham (an overview on Protestantism), John Harper (liturgy and music), Ian Atherton (cathedrals), Trevor Cooper (interiors), Anthony Geraghty & Mark Kirby (rebuilding after the Great Fire), William Roulston (on Ireland), Richard Oram (Scotland), Christopher Wakeling (nonconformism), Sharman Kadish (Jewish communities after the Readmission of 1656) and P. S. Barnwell (conclusions). Printed in colour throughout and with an index, properly sewn and bound in real cloth. 240pp.…
