Reihe: Politics, Culture and Society in Early Modern Britain

The pastor in print is the first book-length analysis of the phenomenon of early modern pastors who intentionally pursued print authorship. With careful attention to audience, content, genre, and timing of publications, pastor-authors sought to complement parish work and achieve diverse religious goals through print.
