Focusing on the Calvinist communities who settled in Southern England during the 16th century, this book locates the Reformed churches within their religious context. It analyzes their relationship with the Church of England and examines the educational concerns of these communities.
This volume is a synthesis of the research articles of one of Europes leading scholars of 16th-century exile communities. It will be invaluable to the growing number of historians interested in the religious, intellectual, social and economic impact of stranger communities on the rapidly changing nation that was Elizabethan and early Stuart England. Southern England in general, and London in particular, played a unique part in offering refuge to Calvinist exiles for more than a century. For the English government, the attraction of exiles was not so much their Reformed religion and discipline as their economic potential - the exiles were in the main skilled craftsmen and well-connected merchants who could benefit the English economy.
