- This book examines the Livre des Martyrs of Jean Crespin as a key text of identity formation, through both the provision of examples for Calvinists to follow and creating a history for the movement. It contributes to current wider conversation about early modern historiography and identity formation, examining the way that other protestant (and ostensibly proto-protestant) groups were woven into the same narrative, of one unified "True Church". It is underpinned by meticulous archival research in French, German and Latin texts in more than half-dozen libraries in the UK, France, and Switzerland, as well as material from Canada and Germany.
