Book Synopsis Calvinism, Reform and the Absolutist State in Elizabethan Ireland by : Mark A Hutchinson
Book excerpt: Despite the best efforts of the English government, Elizabethan Ireland remained resolutely Catholic. Hutchinson examines this ‘failure’ of the Protestant Reformation. He argues that the emerging political concept of the absolutist state forms a crucial link between English policy in Ireland and the aims of the Calvinist reformers.
