Editorial Reviews

"This volume is full of useful material for any Tudor historian." Anglican and Episcopal History

"The editing and transcription of primary resources is very important, and this book, a part of the excellent Camden series, presents scholars of early modern English history with five previously unpublished works illustrating the relationship between the court and the wider social, religious, economic, and political stages. As expected from the Camden series, each document is handled with care by a selection of first rate scholars: each source provides an introduction placing it firmly in context." Sixteenth Century Journal Andrew A. Chibi, University of Leicester
