About This Book

The volume traces the religious and institutional upheaval around the Revolution and the accession of William and Mary, giving particular attention to the 1689 attempt at comprehension and the parliamentary and commission records that illuminate it. It surveys oaths, the Corporation and Test Acts, the Toleration Act, coronation and ecclesiastical commissions, and the contested meeting of Convocation. Portraits of Nonjurors, Nonconformists, leading bishops and controversialists appear alongside accounts of Jacobite activity, Irish campaigns, and political prosecutions. The work also examines clerical life, charitable and missionary societies, church governance, and reproduces key documents in appendices for reference.
