Enforcing the English Reformation in Ireland: Clerical Resistance and Political

Description: Enforcing the English Reformation in Ireland by James Murray A study of Tudor attempts to enforce the Reformation in the heartland of English Ireland during the sixteenth century. It shows how the loyal Pale community ultimately rejected the Reformation and Protestantism because it perceived them to be irreconcilable with its own traditional English culture and medieval Catholic identity. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book examines the efforts of the Tudor regime to implement the English Reformation in Ireland during the sixteenth century. Centred on the diocese of Dublin, the book challenges the traditional assumption that the Reformation was ultimately defeated by Tridentine Catholicism and Counter-Reformation missionaries. Instead, it contends that the most significant opposition came from a survivalist clerical elite who rejected the new religion on the grounds that its adoption would ruin the English cultural ethos of the Pale community, of which traditional medieval Catholicism was a fundamental part. Thus, as well as demonstrating that the task of enforcing the Reformation was more formidable than has been accepted, and its failure more complex that has been assumed, the book also questions some commonly held assumptions concerning the contribution of religion to the formation of national identity on these islands.

Review Review of the hardback: … Murrays work … provides a modern analysis of the physical makeup of the Tudor diocese of Dublin and also illuminates the careers of the individuals who headed that diocese following Henry VIIIs split with Rome. Furthermore it supplies one of the most succinct accounts yet written of how the religious changes enacted by the Tudors impacted upon the wider public life of Dublin and the Irish kingdom. As such it makes an important advance in our understanding of many aspects of the Tudor Reformations in Ireland and contributes significantly to the debate thereon.
