Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. An illuminating collection of moralistic verse mirroring English society on the cusp of the Reformation. Composed after the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the Act of Supremacy, these 33 epigrams by Robert Crowley, Archdeacon of Hereford, and one of the earliest English Protestant writers, shine a light on the follies and vices of his time. Crowley skewers religious hypocrisy, condemns rising inequality, attacks superstition, and highlights the plight of the poor and those who fell foul of the law. A fascinating insight into Tudor England, this accessible and witty book demonstrates how little human nature has changed over the centuries. Its sharp observations and insights into social and religious life remain as relevant and engaging today as when they were first penned over 470 years ago. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282542924_0

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a range of prose works from a notable Puritan figure of the 16th century - Robert Crowley. The author's voice rings out across the centuries to provide an insight into a tumultuous and transformative period in British history - one where the very fabric of society was being reshaped by the Reformation and its aftermath. Crowley was a man of strong opinions, and his writings offer a unique perspective on the social, religious, and economic issues of his time - making for vivid reading. His writings are insightful, unflinching in their exploration of the era's tensions, and are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the texture of the Tudor psyche. For anyone with an interest in the formation of English society and its religious beliefs, this book offers an unparalleled journey into the heart of the sixteenth-century English experience.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a collection of five tracts written by a radical Protestant during the turbulent reign of Edward VI, providing valuable insights into the religious, social, and political tensions of the period. The author's unflinching criticism of the ruling class, clergy, and the common man encapsulates the deep social and religious divisions of the time. The tracts explore the consequences of the dissolution of the monasteries, and the disturbing levels of poverty and oppression endured by the common people. Despite being written over 450 years ago, the author's challenge of authority and demand for social justice remain highly relevant today. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the English Reformation and its ongoing legacy.
