The Parker Society was established in 1840 to publish the works of key English Reformers from the sixteenth century, culminating in fifty-four volumes by 1855. Named after Matthew Parker, the first Elizabethan Archbishop of Canterbury, the society emerged in response to the Tractarian movement, which criticized the Reformation. Members aimed to counteract this sentiment by presenting the Reformers' writings in an appealing format, reinforcing the significance of the English Reformation within the Church of England.
