Reviews
'The author makes a strong case for the occupation of Boulogne as the wellspring for Tudor colonial policy and demonstrates the enduring importance of the idea of a cross-channel empire rather than the insular one described by some historians.' D. R. Bisson, Choice
'This is a satisfying specimen of the best sort of monograph, treating a bounded subject and, by its awareness of wider implications, altering our view of a whole period.' Diarmaid MacCulloch, The Journal of Ecclesiastical History
