Christian Culture and Society in Later Catholic England

6 days ago 2

Christian Culture and Society in Later Catholic England: Studies in Memory of F. Donald Logan, edited by Travis Baker, has been published in Brill’s series,  Later Medieval Europe.  Contributors include the legal historians Paul Brand, Charles Donahue, and Richard Helmholz:

This book in memory of F. Donald Logan explores different aspects of Christian culture and society in England from the twelfth to the sixteenth century. Although this period has traditionally been interpreted in terms of decline and decay, this excessively gloomy picture has slowly given way over the last eighty years or so to a more positive view of Christian civilization during these centuries. The twenty-two studies brought together here seek to build on this ongoing reassessment of Later Catholic England, especially in those areas in which Professor Logan himself had done so much to deepen our understanding of Christian English society.
