This was the first full-length biography in ninety years of
Reginald Pole (1500-1558), one of the most important international
figures of the sixteenth century, and the first ever to give equal
attention to all phases of his career. It was based on painstaking
and extensive archival research, above all in Italy and among the
archives of the Inquisition. Pole spent much of his life writing,
especially about himself. This book attempted to expose the tension
between the 'life as lived' and the 'life as written' in order to
see Pole whole rather than as a plaster saint - or devil. Pole's
career is followed as protege and then harshest critic of Henry
VIII, as cardinal and papal diplomat, legate of Viterbo, a nearly
successful candidate for pope, and finally as legate to England,
archbishop of Canterbury, architect of the English
Counter-Reformation, and victim of both pope Paul IV and of
himself.
