A new edition of the classic study of the religious changes that transformed England in the sixteenth century.

Henry VIII officially brought the Protestant Reformation to England in the 1530s when he severed the English Church from the Papacy. But the seeds of the movement, according to A.G.. Dickens, were planted much earlier. The English Reformation, first published in 1964, follows the movement from its late medieval origins through the settlement of Elizabeth I in 1559 and the rise of Puritanism.


A.G.. Dickens is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of London and co-author of The Reformation in Historical Thought (Harvard, 1985).
