Mandell Creighton's five-volume study of the papacy during the
Reformation was first published between 1882 and 1894. Lytton
Strachey paid an indirect compliment to Creighton's work by
remarking that 'the biscuit is certainly dry; but at any rate there
are no weevils'. Creighton (1843-1901) was an academic and an
ordained Anglican. Having studied at Oxford and spent time in the
parish of Embleton in Northumberland, he was appointed the first
Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge, became
Bishop of Peterborough and ended his career as Bishop of London.
Volume 1 (1882) describes the developments within the Catholic
church that led to the 'Babylonian Captivity of the Popes' in
Avignon, and then focuses on the Council of Constance (1414-18).
Creighton juxtaposes very detailed accounts of the various popes
with a narrative of the early reformation movements across Europe,
from Oxford and Paris to Bohemia.
