Religion, politics and fear: how England was transformed by the
Tudors. The English Reformation was a unique turning point in
English history. Derek Wilson retells the story of how the Tudor
monarchs transformed English religion and why it still matters
today. Recent scholarly research has undermined the traditional
view of the Reformation as an event that occurred solely amongst
the elite. Wilson now shows that, although the transformation was
political and had a huge impact on English identity, on England's
relationships with its European neighbours and on the foundations
of its empire, it was essentially a revolution from the ground up.
By 1600, in just eighty years, England had become a radically
different nation in which family, work and politics, as well as
religion, were dramatically altered. Praise for Derek Wilson:
'Stimulating and authoritative.' John Guy. 'Masterly. [Wilson] has
a deep understanding of . . . characters, reaching out across the
centuries.' Sunday Times.
