Interest in John Foxe and his hugely influential text Acts and Monuments
is particularly vibrant at present. This volume, the third to arise from
a series of international colloquia on Foxe, collects essays by
established and up-and-coming scholars. It broadly embraces five major
areas of early modern studies: Roman Catholicism, women and gender,
visual culture, the history of the book and historiography. Patrick
Collinson provides an entire overview of the field of Foxe studies and
further essays place Foxe and his work within the context of their
times.
