A.G. Dickens is the most eminent English historian of the
Reformation. His books and articles have illuminated both the
history and the historiography of the Reformation in England and in
Germany. Late Monasticism and the Reformation contains an edition
of a poignant chronicle from the eve of the Reformation and a new
collection of essays. The first part of the book is a reprint of
his edition of The Chronicle of Butley Priory, only previously
available in a small privately financed edition which has long been
out of print. The last English monastic chronicle, it extends from
the early years of the sixteenth century up to the Dissolution.
Besides giving an intimate portrait of the community at Butley, it
reveals many details concerning the local history and personalities
of Suffolk during that period. The second part contains the most
important essays published by A.G. Dickens since his Reformation
Studies (1982). Their themes concern such areas of current interest
as the strength and geographical distribution of English
Protestantism before 1558; the place of anticlericalism in the
English Reformation; and Luther as a humanist. Also included are
some local studies including essays on the early Protestants of
Northamptonshire and on the mock battle of 1554 fought by London
schoolboys over religion.
