Jansenism and England: Moral Rigorism Across the Confessions

The book explores the influence of the Jansenism controversy in France on mid- to late seventeenth-century England. It delves into how this significant religious debate, marked by the formal condemnation of Jansenism, affected English society, culture, and religious thought during that period. By analyzing the connections between the two countries, the study sheds light on the broader implications of religious disputes in shaping national identities and theological perspectives.
