Henry VIII

Henry VIII´s forceful personality dominated his age and continues to fascinate our own. In few other reigns have there been developments of such magnitude -in politics, foreign relations, religion, and society- that have so radically affected succeeding generations. Above all the English Reformation and the break with Rome is felt more than four centuries on. For this new edition Professor Scarisbrick has taken stock of subsequent research, an in a fresh introduction points to new publications.
