- The first major survey of the early modern sermon
- Comprehensive coverage of the field - bridges pre-post Reformation and pre-post Civil War, and gives specific treatment to sermons in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales
- Combines theoretical overviews with chronologically-specific, detailed studies
- Crucial but never-before assembled documents of sermon theory, reception, and regulation are included as appendices
- Illustrations throughout demonstrate the huge importance of performance, delivery, and reception
Scholarly interest in the early modern sermon has flourished in recent years, driven by belated recognition of the crucial importance of preaching to religious, cultural, and political life in early modern Britain. The Oxford Handbook of the Early Modern Sermon is the first book to survey this rich new field for both students and specialists. It is divided into sections devoted to sermon composition, delivery, and reception; sermons in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales; English Sermons, 1500-1660; and English Sermons, 1660-1720. The twenty-five original essays it contains represent emerging areas of interest, including research on sermons in performance, pulpit censorship, preaching and ecclesiology, women and sermons, the social, economic, and literary
history of sermons in manuscript and print, and non-elite preaching. The Handbook also responds to the recently recognised need to extend thinking about the 'early modern' across the watershed of the civil wars and interregnum, on both sides of which sermons and preaching remained a potent instrument of religious politics and a literary form of central importance to British culture. Complete with appendices of original documents of sermon theory, reception, and regulation, and generously illustrated, this is a comprehensive guide to the rhetorical, ecclesiastical, and historical precepts essential to the study of the early modern sermon in Britain.Readership: Students and scholars of early modern literature,
history, and culture, and theologians
