Featuring a scholarly introduction and elegant design, this classic edition is both a cultural treasure and a refined addition to any professional's library. ## Description The plays of Shakespeare, the Authorized version of the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer, all produced in the late 16th/early 17th centuries, are the three dounding texts of the English nation and its language. Not only do they share a beauty and a power of style which have never been equalled: their influence on Anglophone culture remains profound. Originally produced by Archbishop Cranmer and his allies to bolster the Tudor secession from Catholicism, the Pray Book rapidly took on a life of its own. Until the present century, most Anglicans knew long stretches of the text by heart. It invaded the style of 17th-century p oets and even 19th century novelists like George Elliot. It still colours our language and our way of feeling today, though we hardly know it. In recent years the Prayer Book has been under attack by modernizers and radicals within the church itself. On the 450th anniversary of its first appearance, the time has come to proclaim the value of this work once more and to recognize it for what it is: a liturgical and literary masterpiece. Review: Building-block of the English Language. - Like all Everyman titles, this is set in a very legible font and neatly bound. A Chronology covering the years 1485 to 1689 is useful towards understanding contemporary events and their impact. Diarmaid MacCulloch is an Oxford academic, expert on Cranmer and the rise of English Protestantism which saw the Book of Common Prayer take shape. His valuable & detailed Introduction makes clear that the Book of Common Prayer (together with Shakespeare's plays & the King James Bible) has played a key part in forming the English Language as we know it. That is a fact, although even the educated classes may not realise it, far less hoi polloi, 'the multitude whom no man can number' in our increasingly secular Britain, whose Sundays are spent in Shopping Centres, seldom setting foot in church. The Book of Common Prayer is a treasure upon which I am poorly qualified to add any substantive comment beyond saying that I regret not having acquired it sooner. Highly recommended.
