What is The Folger Library edition of the works of Richard Hooker about?

<p>Richard Hooker is the first major voice of Anglican theology, and his defense of the Elizabethan Church against the attacks of the Puritans set the prevailing tone of Anglicanism for centuries to follow. Through his eloquent treatise on ecclesiastical law the medieval political thought of Thomas Aquinas became a part of the English political heritage, to be used by such writers as Locke, Burke, and Coleridge. <i>The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity</i> is also a primary statement in English of a theory of natural law.
