Our understanding of the origins of the Second World War have been transformed in recent decades. The opening of the archives of the major combatant powers, changing perspectives, and the reorientation of international history away from a narrow preoccupation with diplomacy have all resulted in a more rounded conception of international relations in the period, embracing also the role of economics, strategy, propaganda, and intelligence. This volume provides a clear and accessible guide to these changes, and to the current state of debate. Presenting some of the most important contributions in the field, it addresses key issues and controversies; the roles of the democratic and revisionist powers, issues of economics, strategy, and opinion; and the road to war itself. Each section is supported by an editorial introduction, explaining the significance of the material selected and, in particular, the light it throws on what continues to be at stake in debates about the origins of the war.

The English Reformation remains deeply controversial. While there is a growing perception that the English experienced a 'long Reformation', that it was a protracted process rather than an 'event', very significant historiographical differences remain over the pace of change, the means of implementation, and the degree of enthusiasm with which the English people experienced the dismantling of their medieval Catholic culture. How widespread was the appeal of early Protestantism in England, and what, if anything, did it owe to native roots? How effectively was religious change enacted in the localities, and how did local communities react to the swings of official policy? In what sense was England a 'Protestant nation' by the early seventeenth century? How much continuity remained with the Catholic past? The contributions in this book identify and, in different and sometimes contradictory ways, attempt to resolve these and other questions. It is structured in three sections that combine a thematic focus with an overall sense of chronological development, exploring the English Reformation in terms of its origins, implementation, and outcomes.
