Download or read book Broken Idols of the English Reformation written by Margaret Aston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 1994 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Bells Sound Out of Tune and How to Cure Them It is significant that, among the various notices and letters which have reached me, there is not one that contains any contradiction, or even criticism of the facts and conclusions advanced in these papers. There is much flattering appreciation of the lucidity, and importance of their contents, but it is evident (as I anticipated) that they have proved to be generally new and unstudied, and, in short, they have been accepted (to use the words of a well-known expert) as a new departure.
