We are pleased to announce that registration for a Spring conference on Bishop Lancelot Andrewes (20th-21st March) has now opened. We are sponsored by CREMS and the Society for Renaissance Studies. Attendance for CREMS members is free – please find below further details and the links for registering your interest and dietary requirements via Eventbrite. We very much look forward to seeing you there.
Since recent re-assessments of his work, this conference will be the first to explore the writings of Bishop Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626) and his engagement with early modern cultures of religion, literature and learning. Andrewes was the most renowned elite preacher of his generation. His sermons were celebrated by listeners, readers and poets; he occupied powerful roles in the Jacobean court, and his writings paved the way for later reforms in the English church. Andrewes was a famous polemicist, a major translator of the King James Bible, an internationally respected scholar, and an influential teacher at Cambridge. This conference intends to explore his writings in all their variety.
