Product Information

In the midst of life we are in death.' The words of the Book of Common Prayer have permeated deep into the English language all over the world. For nearly 500 years and for countless people it has provided a background fanfare for a marriage or a funeral march at a burial. Yet this familiarity also hides a violent and controversial history. When it was first produced the Book of Common Prayer provoked riots and rebellion and it was banned before being translated into a host of global languages and adopted as the basis for worship in the USA and elsewhere to the present day. This edition presents the work in three different states: the first edition of 1549 which brought the Reformation into people's homes; the Elizabethan prayer book of 1559 familiar to Shakespeare and Milton; and the edition of 1662 which embodies the religious temper of the nation down to modern times. 'magnificent edition' Diarmaid MacCullochLondon Review of Books 'superb edition...excellent notes and introduction' Rowan Williams Times Literary Supplement ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features including expert introductions by leading authorities helpful notes to clarify the text up-to-date bibliographies for further study and much more.
