This fresh exploration of the life, work and writing of Archbishop
Pole, focuses particularly on Pole's final years (1556-58) as
Archbishop of Canterbury. Fully integrating Pole's English and
Continental European experiences, John Edwards places these in
their historical context and signposts lessons for contemporary
issues and concerns. Stressing the events and character of Pole's
'English' life, up to his exile in the 1530s, as well as in his
final years in England (1554-58), this book explores his close
relationship, both genealogical and emotional, with Henry VIII and
Mary I. Portraying Pole as a crucial figure in the
Catholic-Protestant division, which still affects Britain today,
this book details the first, and so far last, attempt to restore
Roman Catholicism as the 'national religion' of England and Wales
by telling the life-story of the hinge figure in forging English
religious and political identity for several centuries. The final
section of this book draws together important and illuminating
source material written by Pole during his years as Archbishop of
Canterbury.
