<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A study of popular responses to the English Reformation after Henry VIII's break from Rome.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This study of popular responses to the English Reformation analyzes how ordinary people received, interpreted, debated, and responded to religious change. It differs from other studies by arguing that the subject cannot be understood simply by asking theological questions about people's beliefs, but must be understood by asking political questions about how they negotiated with state power. Therefore, it concerns political as well as religious history, since it asserts that, even at the popular level, political and theological processes were inseparable in the sixteenth century.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...an impressive response to revisionists who argue that the English were inherently conservative and resistant to religious change.
