Birth, Marriage, and Death Ritual, Religion, and the Life-Cycle in Tudor and Stuart England

"...a modest book. The tone is measured, and arguments are advanced cautiously, primarily in two pages of initial 'positions' and in five pages of the Conclusion. There is no polemical thrust, few references to contested opinions, little obvious debate. Instead, Cressy tells fascinating stories, and comments with restraint on their significance. The punch is in the detail."Cressy, David is the author of 'Birth, Marriage, and Death Ritual, Religion, and the Life-Cycle in Tudor and Stuart England', published 1999 under ISBN 9780198207887 and ISBN 0198207883.
