Media Reviews
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
