Abandoning the traditional narrative approach to the subject,
Richard Rex presents an analytical account which sets out the logic
of Henry VIII's shortlived Reformation. Starting with the
fundamental matter of the royal supremacy, Rex goes on to
investigate the application of this principle to the English
ecclesiastical establishment and to the traditional religion of the
people. He then examines the extra impetus and the new direction
which Henry's regime gave to the development of a vernacular and
literate devotional culture, and shows how, despite Henry's best
intentions, serious religious divisions had emerged in England by
the end of his reign. The study emphasises the personal role of
Henry VIII in driving the Reformation process and how this process,
in turn, considerably reinforced the monarch's power. This updated
edition of a powerful interpretation of Henry VIII's Reformation
retains the analytical edge and stylish lucidity of the original
text while taking full account of the latest research. An important
new chapter elucidates the way in which 'politics' and 'religion'
interacted in early Tudor England.
