About this book

The pastor in print is the first book-length analysis of the phenomenon of early modern pastors who intentionally pursued print authorship. With careful attention to audience, content, genre, and timing of publications, pastor-authors sought to complement parish work and achieve diverse religious goals through print.

Reviews

'Deeply grounded in manuscript research at the Beinecke Library at Yale, the Bodleian, British Library, the National Archives, Cambridge University, Chetham's Library Manchester and the Lincolnshire and Somerset Record Offices as well as in an enormous number of late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century printed texts it seems no stone has been left unturned. The long list of secondary sources – and Tan's active engagement with them in the body of the book – proclaims a comprehensive and up-to-date awareness; the full bibliography runs to sixteen pages of dense print.'
