English Reformations takes a refreshing new solution to the research of the Reformation in England. Christopher Haigh’s energetic and readable research disproves any facile assumption that the triumph of Protestantism was inescapable, and goes outside of the surface of formal political policy to explore the spiritual sights and techniques of everyday English people today. With the gain of hindsight, other historians have traced the system of the Reformation as a collection of gatherings inescapably culminating in the development of the English Protestant establishment. Haigh sets out to recreate the sixteenth century as a time of enjoyment and insecurity, with each new policy or ruler creating the reversal of earlier spiritual modifications. This is a scholarly and stimulating book, which worries standard thoughts about the Reformation and offers a effective and convincing option analysis.
