Description
Samuel Roffey Maitland waged a vituperative crusade in the 19th century against John Foxe, the editors of the "Acts and Monuments", and the work itself. Through a careful examination of Maitland's writings, this book attempts to show whether Maitland was justified in his assessment of Foxe's place in the English Reformation, Foxe's role in determining the eventual nature of the Church of England, and whether Maitland was indispensable to the undermining of Foxe, his circle, and his works.
