This book examines the Tudor histories of the English Reformation
written in the period 1530-83. All the reforming mid-Tudor regimes
used historical discourses to support the religious changes they
introduced. Indeed the English Reformation as a historical event
was written, and rewritten, by Henrician, Edwardian, Marian and
Elizabethan historians to provide legitimation for the religious
policies of the government of the day. Starting with John Bale's
King Johan, this book examines these histories of the English
Reformations. It addresses the issues behind Bale's editions of the
Examinations of Anne Askewe, discusses in detail the almost wholly
neglected history writing of Mary Tudor's reign and concludes with
a discussion of John Foxe's Acts and Monuments. In the process of
working chronologically through the Reformation historiography of
the period 1530-1583 this book explores the ideological conflicts
that mid-Tudor historians of the English Reformations addressed and
the differences, but also the similarities often cutting across
doctrinal differences, that existed between their texts.
