The New Religion of Work

Richard Donkin

Chapter Chapter 4 in The History of Work, 2010, pp 43-56 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Throughout the sixteenth century the Bible became the intellectual bread and butter of northern Europe. Translations into the vernacular, spread by the new medium of printing, created a Bible culture that dominated everyday lives. In England Henry VIII complained to Parliament that it was “disputed, rhymed, sung, and jangled in every ale house.”1
