Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. An illuminating collection of moralistic verse mirroring English society on the cusp of the Reformation. Composed after the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the Act of Supremacy, these 33 epigrams by Robert Crowley, Archdeacon of Hereford, and one of the earliest English Protestant writers, shine a light on the follies and vices of his time. Crowley skewers religious hypocrisy, condemns rising inequality, attacks superstition, and highlights the plight of the poor and those who fell foul of the law. A fascinating insight into Tudor England, this accessible and witty book demonstrates how little human nature has changed over the centuries. Its sharp observations and insights into social and religious life remain as relevant and engaging today as when they were first penned over 470 years ago. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780282542924_0
