Reforming memory: commemoration of the dead in sixteenth-century Wales

This is a major study of changing patterns of commemoration of the dead, suggesting that the tradition of poetry praising the dead rather than emphasizing their sinfulness may explain some aspects of the muted Welsh response to the Reformation. While it is mainly based on Welsh evidence it is felt that it has wider relevance for the study of the Reformation and for that reason it ought to be placed with a journal whose readership is not confined to Wales.
