  • Book Description

    This book is about one critical but neglected phase of the early English Reformation: the last years of Henry VIII's life, 1539 47, conventionally seen as a time when the king persecuted Protestants. The book argues that Henry's policies were much more ambiguous; that he continued to give some support to Protestantism; and that many Protestants also remained loyal to the king. It also examines why they eventually adopted a more radical, oppositional stance, and argues that it was largely during these years that English Protestantism's eventual identity was determined.

    The last years of Henry VIII's life, 1539-47, have conventionally been seen as a time when the king persecuted Protestants. This book argues that Henry's policies were much more ambiguous; that he continued to give support to Protestantism and that many accordingly also remained loyal to him. It also examines why the Protestants eventually adopted a more radical, oppositional stance, and argues that English Protestantism's eventual identity was determined during these years.
