England's Iconoclasts: Volume I: Laws Against Images

by Margaret Aston

Rejection of idolatry during the Reformation had dramatic and far-reaching effects on English society: the removal of color and ornament from churches, the alteration of divine and secular laws, and the destruction of an enormous amount of religious art. This study looks at the changes in
sixteenth-century theology that brought about iconoclasm and offers new insight into a central aspect of the Reformation.
