Description

William Tyndale: A Biography by David Daniell is a comprehensive and engaging account of the life of this pivotal figure in English literary history. Published to mark the quincentenary of his birth, this biography sets the story of Tyndale's life within the intellectual and literary contexts of Renaissance Europe. Born in England, educated at Oxford, and ordained as a priest, Tyndale was driven by a desire to translate the Bible into English. His decision led him to live in exile in Germany and the Low Countries, where he translated and printed the New Testament and half of the Old Testament. Despite facing persecution and imprisonment, Tyndale continued to write and publish polemics in defense of the principles of the English Reformation. This biography offers a fresh perspective on Tyndale's life, exploring his influence on theology, literature, and humanism during the Reformation era.
