On the first anniversary of that event, or more precisely, the next Maundy Thursday, I found myself in Saint Ives, Cornwall, with the great studio potter, Bernard Leach, then approaching his ninetieth birthday. (I, approaching my twenty-fourth.) He was a Baha’i, deeply committed to the marriage of East and West. Much of our conversation, which went on through Easter, was about “art,” about “religion,” and about “art and religion.” Hutton, Ronald (1993). "Review of The Stripping of the Altars. Traditional Religion in England 1400—1580". The Journal of Theological Studies. 44 (2): 762–764. doi: 10.1093/jts/44.2.762. ISSN 0022-5185. JSTOR 23966411. Although scholarship at the time had focused on Catholicism as a weakening religion within England, merely requiring a catalyst, Duffy argues that it was an important and powerful part of daily life before the Reformation. This argument rejects the notion that the English Reformation was inevitable, instead seeing it as a movement imposed from above by the English crown. urn:lcp:strippingofaltar00duff:epub:bad920d6-6caa-4cd7-913b-9e15892bbd9a Extramarc University of Toronto Foldoutcount 0 Identifier strippingofaltar00duff Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t2n614n6r Invoice 11 Isbn 9780300060768

Robert Ombres OP, writing in Moreana said, "Duffy's book is in every sense a substantial achievement. It is lengthy, carefully argued and researched..."
