James Anthony Froude’s The Reign of Mary Tudor is a vivid narrative history of England under its Catholic queen, drawn from the author’s celebrated multi-volume history of England. Froude recounts Mary’s accession, her marriage to Philip of Spain, and her determined effort to restore Roman Catholicism.
The book gives a dramatic account of the religious persecutions of the period, when hundreds of Protestants were burned at the stake, and of the political turmoil that shadowed the reign. Written in Froude’s powerful prose, it remains a compelling study of Reformation England. This free EPUB edition is formatted for reading on any device.
