Hilaire Belloc's landmark study Characters of the Reformation
argues that Western Europe's break from the Catholic Church was
driven by a land-grab and looting of Church property by European
noblemen. Belloc has little admiration for the so-called leaders of
the time and credits the Reformation to behind-the-scenes players.
Each chapter is a mini-biography and individuals covered include
Anne Boleyn, Pope Clement the Seventh, Cecil, Richelieu, Laud,
Oliver Cromwell, Descartes, Pascal and more.
