In this second volume in a two-volume edition of the Life and Letters of Thomas Cromwell, R.B. Merriman publishes the full text of a large body of Cromwell's correspondence, an invaluable resource for the period. The letters are copied from the original manuscripts where possible and are presented chronologically, covering the period from 1536 to 1540. They are a vibrant and informative insight into political, religious and intellectual culture, and thus provide an invaluable window into the period.
