 Non fiction about the author: John Schofield is visiting scholar in the School of Historical Studies at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. His other books include Philip Melanchthon and the English Reformation. He lives in North Shields. This is a major biography of Henry's VIII's right hand man, revealing for the first time that the image of a blood stained henchman is largely fictional. Thomas Cromwell was the Henry's VIII's chief minister and principal reformer of the church in one of the most eventful eras in English history. Contemporary sources reveal a brilliant mind and expansive heart, a lover and patron of the arts and humanities, while short case studies shed new light on his relations with, and his reputation among, the Tudor populace. The final part narrates the drama of his downfall, and the king’s posthumous exoneration of the "most faithful servant he ever had." |
