John Fisher's times are remembered, but he is often not. While
information on the Tudor period proliferates there is scarcely a
mention of John Fisher. E.E. Reynolds' work is history rather than
Hagiography, bringing out these details carefully from official
state archives, ambassadorial correspondence, letters and near
contemporary biography. In his introduction, Reynolds notes:
"Father Thomas E. Bridgett's Blessed John Fisher (1888) was the
first full-scale biography to be based on a careful study of state
papers; the result was a work that, once and for all, established
the position and stature of John Fisher...Two generations have
passed since this pioneer work; Bridgett was scrupulously careful
not to go beyond the available evidence; since he wrote, other
material has become accessible that strengthens the portrait given
in Blessed John Fisher." Reynolds makes use of all of this to bring
further illustration to the only Cardinal Martyr in a must have for
any historian of the Tudor period.
