Ralph Houlbrooke's Books

This volume examines the effects of religious change on the English way of death between 1480 and 1750. It discusses relatively neglected aspects of the subject such as the death-bed, will-making and the last rites.

The history of the family has become the source of lively controversy and Ralph Houlbrooke's study has made a major contribution to the debate. Thorough investigations reveal the attitudes and aspirations of all levels of society set within economic, political and religious contexts and developments within the period.

Examines the political power relations between the three kingdoms and the continent and explores the story of their development, bringing into play factors such as commercial links, migration of groups, the transmission and adoption of religious beliefs, political ideas, technological innovations and artistic styles. The book illustrates how, during the 1500-1780 era, Britain stepped into a more active role in the traffic of ideas and styles as well as goods. It will comparatively evaluate a range of key institutions in Britain - constitutional, administrative, religious, economical and social - with those of its European counterparts.
