Abstract
AbstractThis essay seeks to set Patrick Collinson's book The Elizabethan Puritan Movement within the historiographical context in which it was written, within the context provided by his own subsequent oeuvre and in that provided by the succeeding historiography. It is intended as both an appreciation and a critique, but one offered with the greatest respect to a great scholar. It suggests that from the outset Collinson's work was contained within a triad linking religion, politics and, for want of a better word, ‘culture’ and that his work was at its best when politics retained its place as a central organizing principle and his other claims and concerns remained firmly attached, either explicitly or implicitly, to some form of, local, national or even interpersonal, political narrative.
