Summary:

Church Music and Protestantism in Post-Reformation England' breaks new ground in the religious history of Elizabethan England through a closely focused study of the role of music and the Reformation. By reintegrating music back into the study of the Elizabethan church, it provides an enriched understanding of the complex process of the formation of religious identity, and what it actually meant to be Protestant in post-Reformation England.
