'This second edition of The Later Reformation in England, 1547-1603 brings new refinements and nuances, mostly from his own research, but still a supplemented and polished version of the first version. On those grounds alone this edition is a considerable contribution to ongoing research.' - Barry Collett, University of Melbourne, Paregon 'An excellent textbook - best out on religious history of England in its period.' - Ronald Hutton, University of Bristol 'The new edition...is simply the best introduction to the latter part of the English Reformation in print.' - Malcolm Yarnell, Anglican and Episcopal History 'The Later Reformation, and invaluable short guide to a turbulent age, shows how easily great ideas go adrift and how Protestant England disappeard in disappointment and confusion.' - Dom Aidan Bellenger, The Downside Review
