EC Religious minorities in British early-modern culture

In 2024-2025 this course will focus on the history of puritanism. In particular we will explore the making of a puritan « myth » across the centuries, from people who wished to depart from remnants Catholicism under the reign of Elizabeth I to contemporary prejudices in popular culture. Specific attention will given to the way men, women, and even children lived and practised their religion.

Avaible through BU or online.
