A Kingdom in Two Parishes: Lancashire Religious Writers and the English Monarchy, 1521-1689Since the sixteenth century the market town of Bolton in the County and Royal Duchy of Lancaster has been known as the "Geneva of the North." Specialist scholars and general writers have referred to its extraordinary contribution to the history of Reformation, Civil War, and Nonconformity, and to its stream of vigorous religious writers. Here, for the first time, these authors are located in the native landscape and discussed in their rich individuality and as a group. |
