Abstract:

English translators, patrons, publishers, and printers played a vital role in the dissemination of continental Protestant reform within England. Their presentation of works by nineteen important continental Protestant reformers underwent notable shifts that mirror changes in official religious policy across the Tudor period. Although this study is based on an enumeration of editions and dedications, it also considers the relationship between book format and total output of works of continental reform. Continental editions appeared in folio format for the first time during the reign of Elizabeth, representing an increasing prestige for these works and a corresponding appeal to an elite readership.
