"A sumptuously written people's history and a major retelling and reinterpretation
of the story of the English Reformation Centuries on, what the Reformation was and
what it accomplished remain deeply contentious. Peter Marshall's sweeping new history--the
first major overview for general readers in a generation--argues that sixteenth-century
England was a society neither desperate for nor allergic to change, but one open to
ideas of "reform" in various competing guises. King Henry VIII wanted an orderly,
uniform Reformation, but his actions opened a Pandora's Box from which pluralism and
diversity flowed and rooted themselves in English life. With sensitivity to individual
experience as well as masterfully synthesizing historical and institutional developments,
Marshall frames the perceptions and actions of people great and small, from monarchs
and bishops to ordinary families and ecclesiastics, against a backdrop of profound
change that altered the meanings of "religion" itself. This engaging history reveals
what was really at stake in the overthrow of Catholic culture and the reshaping of
the English Church"
