This volume focuses on the period known as the Reformation, primarily from 1540 to 1593, exploring the political, religious, and social transformations that took place during this tumultuous time in England. Green delves into the impacts of key figures and events, from the Protestant Revolution to the Catholic Reaction, illustrating how they influenced the course of English history. The opening of this volume sets the stage for the complex relationship between the monarchy and Parliament, particularly during the reign of Henry VIII and the subsequent Protestant changes under Edward VI. It discusses the ascendancy of Thomas Cromwell, whose policies initially strengthened the monarchy but ultimately led to challenges against absolute power. The text highlights the rise of Parliament as a counterbalance to monarchical authority and introduces the significant shifts in religious power, moving from the Catholic Church to growing Protestant factions. Green effectively outlines the early stages of the Reformation, showcasing the dynamics at play among the monarchy, the Church, and the people of England.
