pulpit was demolished. Pauls Cross became especially prominent as the public face of government when Thomas Cromwell orchestrated propaganda for the Henrician reformation in the early 1530s. Here too, after the accession of Edward VI, Hugh Latimer preached his Sermon on the Ploughers, one of the
most celebrated sermons of the English Reformation. While Edmund Bonner, Bishop of London sat here listening to a sermon in 1553, a riot broke out. In November 1559, John Jewel preached his celebrated Challenge Sermon here, arguably the most influential of all sermons delivered at Pauls Cross
throughout the Tudor era. Near the end of Elizabeths reign William Barlow mounted the pulpit to pronounce the governments response to the abortive rebellion of the Earl of Essex. Barlow preached another sermon at Pauls Cross in the wake of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. Throughout the early modern
period, Pauls Cross remained continuously at the epicentre of events which radically transformed Englands religious and political identities. And throughout this transformation, animated as it was by a popular "culture of persuasion" which Pauls Cross itself came to exemplify, the pulpit
contributed enormously to the emergence of a new public arena of discourse. Many of these sermons preached at Pauls Cross have been lost; yet a considerable number have survived both in manuscript and in early printed editions. This edition makes available a selection of Pauls Cross sermons
representative of this rich period in the maturation of Englands popular culture of persuasion.
