内容説明

During the years from 1520 to 1540, both revolution and Reformation were introduced into England. The Royal Supremacy, conceived to meet Henry VIII's domestic needs, ended the jurisdiction of Rome and vested in the crown responsibility for the English church. In this situation, where the king wielded supreme power, the emergence of different factions gave expression to differing allegiances, ideologies and power struggles. Historians have usually seen factional politics as fuelled primarily by self-interest, but Joseph Block suggests that in many cases ideological commitment lay at the heart of the political groupings during the two decades under scrutiny. He establishes an important role for Anne Boleyn, seeing her as both a stimulus to and a source of change and reform. He further traces the consolidation of reform throughout the changing fortunes of the factions at the Henrician court, and his account culminates in Thomas Cromwell's fall and the triumph of faction. JOSEPH BLOCKis a lecturer in the Liberal Studies Department at California State Polytechnic.
