The Age of Reformation

The Age of Reformation charts how religion, politics and social change were intimately interlinked in the sixteenth century from the murderous politics of the Tudor court to the building and fragmentation of new religious and social identities in the parishes. Alec This second edition has been fully revised and updated and includes expanded sections on Lollardy and anticlericalism, Henry VIII’s early religious views, on several of the rebellions which convulsed Tudor England and on unofficial religion, ranging from Elizabethan Catholicism to incipient atheism. It is essential reading for students of early modern British history and the history of the reformation.
