Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"An exciting and distinguished book.... MacCulloch combines exact and penetrating scholarship with a vitality of exposition that is rare in writing on Tudor history." - Blair Worden, Sunday Telegraph "MacCulloch's enviable ease in unraveling complex theological and political positions...make[s] this a formidable achievement. A dramatic period of English history will never look quite the same again." - The Independent (London) "Provocative and sparkling (let's say it, brilliant).... MacCulloch argues with great elegance that the Edwardian reformation was a crucial moment in the development of the Anglican Church and the forging of England's Protestant identity." - Robbie Millen, The Spectator

Reseña del editor

Diarmaid MacCulloch illuminates the significance of Edward's turbulent and neglected reign. He takes a fresh look at the life and beliefs of the young king and of the ruthless politicians who jostled for power around him. He analyzes the single-minded strategy of the Protestant Revolution and assesses the support it had among the people of England.
