medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I don't think anyone has mentioned Judith Maltby, _Prayer Book adn People
in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England_ (Cambridge, 1998), which I think
is a most important book for the issue being discussed (and an antidote to
Christopher Haigh, who has been suggested). A similar position is taken by
Christopher Marsh, _Popular Religion in Sixteenth-century England_ (London,
1998). In a number of places (different articles), Martin Ingram makes the
point that despite their differences, people might well feel that they
still belonged to the doctrinal church (as they thought it ought to be)
(this in an argument qualifying the notion of appropriation of culture a la
Roger Chartier). If you want the references, I can dig them up. I think
that Maltby's thesis has a great deal to offer - that people, by and large,
were content with the religion of the Prayer Book.
