James Anthony Froude (1818 94), historian and disciple of Carlyle,
published this twelve-volume history of the English Reformation
between 1858 and 1870. The work is shaped by Froude's firm belief
that the Reformation enabled the development of modernity and the
rise of 'progressive intelligence' in England. His polemical stance
was criticised by some historians, but his engaging narrative style
and elegant prose made his work extremely popular with the general
public, and the books were highly influential. The first six
volumes consider the course of the Reformation from the break with
Rome until the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558, and the remaining
six recount the reign of Elizabeth I, ending with the defeat of the
Spanish Armada. Volume 5 is devoted to the reign of Edward VI and
the struggle for power during his Protectorate.
