The story of Margaret Clitherow represents one of the most important yet troubling
events in post-Reformation history. Her trial, execution and subsequent legend have
provoked controversy ever since she became a cause celebre in the time of Elizabeth
I. Through extensive new research into the contemporary accounts of her arrest and
trial the authors have pieced together a new reading of the surrounding events. The
result is a work which considers the question of religious sainthood and martyrdom
as well as the relationship between society, the state and the Church in Britain during
the sixteenth century. They establish the full ideological significance of the trial
and demonstrate that the politics of post-Reformation British society cannot be understood
without the wider local, national and international contexts in which they occurred.
This is a major contribution to our understanding of both English Catholicism and
the Protestant regime of the Elizabethan period. - Publisher
