J. Patrick Coby teaches Tudor history and is chair of the Department of Government at Smith College in New England, USA. His other books include Henry VIII & the Reformation Parliament.

Review :
This is at once a compelling, much needed biography and a massively well-informed intellectual history of the sixteenth century. J. Patrick Coby artfully tells the story of the man born to middling circumstances who helped transform England into a modern state. At the same time, he provides a lively account of the intellectual, religious, and political ideas and movements roiling the sixteenth century, showing how they influenced Cromwell and how Cromwell in turn helped to shape them. Coby focuses on events biographical, historical, intellectual of the 1530s, and students of the period will find particularly valuable his assessment of the seven sessions of the Reformation Parliament.--Larry Carver
