Radical Religion from Shakespeare to Milton: Figures of Nonconformity in Early Modern England Book

The image of the puritan as a dour and repressive character has been central to ways of reading sixteenth- and seventeenth-century history and literature. Kristen Poole's original study challenges this perception arguing that radical reformers were most often portrayed in literature of the period as deviant, licentious and transgressive.
