Description
A sweeping history of the English Reformation, Heretics and Believers offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal period in English society. Peter Marshall's masterful narrative explores how sixteenth-century England was shaped by competing ideas of reform, from the monarchs who sought unity to those who championed diversity. Through the lives of individuals great and small, Marshall reveals the profound impact of the Reformation on everyday people and the ways in which it reshaped the English Church. This engaging history sheds light on what was at stake in the overthrow of Catholic culture and the creation of a new religious landscape. With sensitivity to individual experience and a deep understanding of historical developments, Marshall brings this complex period to life, making Heretics and Believers an essential read for anyone interested in the history of England.
