Puritanism Flashcards
What was the relation between Puritanism and Laudianism, according to Peacey?
Peacey, J., ‘Paranoid Prelates: Archbishop Laud and the Puritan Plot’, B. Coward, J. Swann (ed.), Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theory in Early Modern Europe (Hampshire: Ashgate, 2004), 113-134.
Despite work of revisionists like Tyacke, ‘having explored the thought patterns of Laud and his allies in the 1630s, and having explored the thought patterns of laud and his allies in the 1630s, and having exposed their acute fear of the existence of a large scale Puritan plot, it is possible to suggest that Puritanism and Laudianism existed in at least a symbiotic relationship, and that the rise of Laudianism was based in part upon a reaction to a perceived persistent threat.
