It tells of London's sixteenth-century transformation by a new faith  that was both fervently evangelised and fiercely resisted, as a  succession of governments and monarchs - Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Mary  - vied for control. London's disproportionate size and wealth, its mix  of social forces and high politics, and the strength of its religious  sectors made the capital a key factor in the reception of the English  Reformation. Brigden draws upon rich archival sources to examine how  these religious dilemmas were confronted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A tour de force of  historical narrative... which can be read with both pleasure and profit  by scholars and non-scholars alike.' \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Magisterial... richly detailed... teeming with the vivid street language of the sixteenth century.'\u003ci\u003e London Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164731326704,"sku":"9780571322619","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571322619_p0.jpg?v=1763719194","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571322619","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
