Derived from the fourth John Foxe Colloquium, the dual theme of which was Foxe in his locality and Foxe overseas, John Foxe at Home and Abroad attracts a distinguished and international selection of scholars. Contributions range across a broad spectrum of Reformation subjects, tracing Foxe's influence.From the implementation of reforms in his home county of Lincolnshire and the spread of an anti-Catholic tradition throughout sixteenth century England, to the influence of Foxe in a wider European and North American context, John Foxe at Home and Abroad explores some of the wider ramifications of the Protestant martyrological tradition which Foxe did so much to shape. In so doing it offers a fuller picture of Foxe by locating him simultaneously within a local and international milieu.As well as exploring Foxe's work through a geographical lens, this volume is dedicated to Professor Patrick Collinson, who has done much to further the study of John Foxe and the Reformation.
