Religion, order, and law : a study in pre-Revolutionary England

"The issue of the Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism has been debated endlessly, but few scholars have seriously continued Weber's own research into the Reformation sources of seventeenth-century England. David Little's study was one of the first to do so, and remains an important contribution." Guenther Roth, University of Washington"
