Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1533-1556

Description:

This is not a life of Cranmer; it is a study of his character and motives, with exposition of, and emphasis upon, his literary genius and its legacy to the Church of England. For most of the facts related I have based myself on the scholarship of Professor Pollard, as must everyone since the publication of his monograph which treats of Cranmer as a "Hero of the Reformation." - p. [5].
