Description: The revolution of 1688 has traditionally been seen as a constitutional turning-point. Was it also a watershed in the religious history of England? Some historians have recently argued that the religious freedoms achieved under the Toleration Act of 1689 had been anticipated earlier, during the Interregnum and under Charles II and James II. This book sets out to examine the position of religious minorities in England at the end of the 17th century and to place the development of religious toleration in its wider historical context. The scholars who contribute to this volume explore a variety of themes, including the nature of religious dissent, the idea of freedom of conscience, and attitudes towards the Huguenot community. They examine not only Protestant dissent, but also Catholicism, Judaism, and Deism. This book aims to re-establish the importance of religion in the historical assessment of the Glorious Revolution and its consequences. The work is aimed at scholars and students of early modern British history, historians of the 1688 Revolution, and constitutional and religious historians.
