Consider the polarization of religious thought in the late Stuart period. In what ways did Britain during the reign of Charles II see a secularization of thinking on the one hand and a more narrow way of thinking on the other? Discuss, for example, those who might have been viewed as Latitudinarians as opposed to those whose names became associated with the more extreme elements of the Popish Plot, the Meal-Tub Plot, the Rye House Plot, and the Monmouth Rebellion (for these, see also the bios and readings available under Readings in Module III). What historical precedents did each side employ to support their argument?
