This book investigates how Syon Abbey responded to the religious turbulence of the 1520s and 1530s. It examines the books three brothers - William Bonde, John Fewterer, and Richard Whitford - produced and argues that the Bridgettines used vernacular printing to engage with religious and political developments that threatened their orthodox faith.
