Description
The Book of Common Prayer: A Complex Legacy For nearly 500 years, the Book of Common Prayer has been a ubiquitous presence in English language and culture, yet its history is marked by controversy and violence. This edition presents the work in three distinct states: the 1549 edition, which introduced the Reformation to the masses; the Elizabethan prayer book of 1559, familiar to notable writers of the time; and the edition of 1662, which reflects the nation's religious temperament to this day. Brian Cummings' edition provides a comprehensive understanding of the Book of Common Prayer's development and impact. The publication includes expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. Oxford World's Classics has long been committed to scholarship, and this edition is no exception. With its accurate text and wealth of additional features, this book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex history and significance of the Book of Common Prayer.
