In the years from 1534, when Henry VIII became head of the English
church until the end of Mary Tudor's reign in 1558, the forms of
English religious life evolved quickly and in complex ways. At the
heart of these changes stood the country's professed religious men
and women, whose institutional homes were closed between 1535 and
1540. Records of their reading and writing offer a remarkable view
of these turbulent times. The responses to religious change of
friars, anchorites, monks and nuns from London and the surrounding
regions are shown through chronicles, devotional texts, and
letters. What becomes apparent is the variety of positions that
English religious men and women took up at the Reformation and the
accommodations that they reached, both spiritual and practical. Of
particular interest are the extraordinary letters of Margaret
Vernon, head of four nunneries and personal friend of Thomas
Cromwell.
