Reviews
This is simply the best comprehensive introduction to the English Reformation currently available, from one of its most respected and honoured experts. It is accessible, informed, fair-minded, and constantly enriched by personal research and insight. * Ronald Hutton, Professor of History, Bristol University, UK *
Expertly updated to take account of fresh scholarship, Peter Marshall's excellent textbook remains the best introduction to the complexities of the religious changes England experienced between 1480 and 1642 available. With its new afterword on the Reformation's diverse legacies, this third edition cements its place as a historiographical classic. * Alexandra Walsham, Professor of Modern History, University of Cambridge, UK *
A balanced, insightful and humane account of the religious complexities and upheavals of early modern England, by one of the leading experts in the field. If there is one introductory text that every student new to the subject should read, then this is it. * Lucy Wooding, Langford Fellow and Tutor in History, Lincoln College Oxford, UK *
