The Marprelate Tracts. By William Pierce, Author of “An Historical Introduction to the Marprelate Tracts.” Demy 8vo, cloth, 12s. 6d. net.
The “Tracts” reprinted in this volume are among the most famous in history. They were read eagerly everywhere in England, from the Court to the country farmhouse, when they appeared at the end of the sixteenth century. They are racy in style, and the unknown author, “Martin Marprelate,” brings great resources of wit, humour and argument to bear in his tremendous onslaught upon the Bishops. Mr. Pierce gives a very scholarly edition of the tracts, enriched by many valuable and illuminating notes.
Dr. James Moffatt, in The British Weekly, says:—“Will rank as a standard edition. It is not possible to convey any idea of the historical scholarship and research which have gone to the making of this book, but Mr. Pierce will have his reward in the consciousness of serving the cause of religious liberty; and in the gratification of those who have to study the religious situation of England during the sixteenth century. . . . Their historical importance is considerable.”
“One of the most valuable contributions to our history ever made.”—Principal W. B. Selbie.
