Description
This new edition on the English Reformation includes a chapter placing Tudor England in a wider temporal and geographical context, which addresses some fundamental questions about the Reformation in Europe and its long-term causes; a new section on that "controversial saint" Sir Thomas More as well as one on Thomas Cromwell and Anne Boleyn; an expanded account of the reign of Edward VI and, most particularly, of the Marian Reaction. A further new chapter provides a fresh look at three important themes in the light of recent research: the influence of anticlericalism, both Catholic and Protestant, on the Reformation; the uneven spread of pre-Elizabethan Protestantism across England; and finally, the intriguing question - was the English Reformation in some sense a youth movement?
