Description - Cathedrals under Siege: Cathedrals in English Society, 1600-1700 by Stanford E. Lehmberg
The 17th century, the time of the Civil War and the Commonwealth, was the most perilous period in the history of the English cathedral. The story of all 26 great English cathedrals during the 17th century, this book describes the way they were attacked, desecrated and abolished as institutions, only managing to survive until the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. It reviews these and later events and examines other aspects of cathedral history - buildings, clergy, finances, music and literature.
