Edmund
Grindal, archbishop of Canterbury under Elizabeth I from 1576–1583, was called
by John Milton “a grave and
pious man,” compared to the pretension of other Elizabethan bishops. He was
admired by his fellow Puritans and attacked by high churchmen in later
centuries. This collection gathers works from throughout the affable bishop’s
career, including sermons, letters, and several official documents that shed
light on the ever-shifting religious climate in England.
Edmund
Grindal
(1519–1583) was bishop of London, archbishop of York, and finally archbishop of
Canterbury during Elizabeth I’s reign, though he very well may never have
actually visited Canterbury.
