ISBN: 9781840142815 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. All the reforming mid-Tudor regimes used historical discourses to support the religious changes which they introduced and the Reformation as a historical event was written and rewritten by various historians to offer legitimation for policies. Starting with John Bale's "King Johan", this book examines these histories of the English Reformations. It addresses the issues behind Bale's editions of the "Examinations of Anne Askew", discusses in detail the almost wholly neglected history writing of Mary Tudor's reign and concludes with a discussion of John Foxe's "Acts and Monuments". In the...

Writing Faith and Telling Tales: Literature, Politics, and Religion in the Work of Thomas More
ISBN: 9780268022396 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Thomas More is a complex and controversial figure who has been regarded as both saint and persecutor, leading humanist and a representative of late medieval culture. His religious writings, with their stark and at times violent attacks on what More regarded as heresy, have been hotly debated. In Writing Faith and Telling Tales, Thomas Betteridge sets More's writings in a broad cultural and chronological context, compares them to important works of late fourteenth- and fifteenth-century vernacular theology, and makes a compelling argument for the revision of existing histories of...

Borders and Travellers in Early Modern Europe
ISBN: 9780754653516 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Early modern Europe was obsessed with borders and travel. It found, imagined and manufactured new borders for its travellers to cross. It celebrated and feared borders as places or states where meanings were charged and changed. In early modern Europe crossing a border could take many forms; sailing to the Americas, visiting a hospital or taking a trip through London's sewage system. Borders were places that people lived on, through and against. Some were temporary, like illness, while others claimed to be absolute, like that between the civilized world and the savage, but, as the chapters in...

Henry VIII and History
ISBN: 9781409400158 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Henry VIII remains the most iconic and controversial of all English Kings.

Yet despite this perennial fascination with Henry the man and monarch, there has been little comprehensive exploration of his historiographic legacy. Therefore scholars will welcome this...
