Long Reformation
Long Reformation is a historiographic term that interprets the process of the Protestant Reformation, particularly the English Reformation, as longer and broader than the traditional chronology of happening through mid-sixteenth-century legislation. The concept was shaped by revisionist reformation historians such as Jack Scarisbrick, Christopher Haigh and Eamon Duffy, who emphasised the vitality of late medieval Catholicism and the slow, uneven pace of Protestantisation and was first used by Duffy in 1996.
