Title: John Foxe and the English Reformation
Description: "The theme of this book is the composition, historical validity and influence of Foxe's Acts and Monuments, a key text of the English Reformation, published in English in four editions between 1563 and 1583." "Foxe's book was disinterred in the nineteenth century by men seeking to defend the Church of England against the reviving Church of Rome. John Foxe and the English Reformation is a summary of the work of present-day scholars engaged in producing an accurate and critical edition of Foxe's work to replace the polemical and deficient nineteenth-century texts."--BOOK JACKET.
