About This Item
Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Fine. Signed by David Cressy on the title page. "...brings together in a novel and illuminating way the history of popular culture and mainstream politics in Elizabethan and Stuart England. During these years the calendar, although founded on Christianity, took its guiding landmarks from recent incidents in English history, and so became an important expression of a distinctively national Protestant culture." Octavo: 271 p. Original black cloth binding, with gilt titles. Light bump to the top corner of the rear board; else a fine, unread copy in a fine dust jacket.
