Summary
In recent decades the historiographical landscape of the Reformation in the British Isles has witnessed a growing concern for the international context within which confessional identities, whether Protestant or Catholic, were formed.1 This is in no small part due to a generation of scholarship on the English church, which overturned the “myth” of the English Reformation as an exceptional via media between Geneva and Rome. This myth, a descendant of polemically charged histories of the late nineteenth century, contrasted a conservative Anglicanism, only minimally influenced by Protestantism, with Puritanism, a radical and foreign importation of Calvinism onto English soil.
