"History of the English People, Volume IV" by John Richard Green is a journey through England’s Reformation, specifically between 1540 and 1593, revealing the era’s religious, political, and societal changes. It examines the Protestant Revolution, where powerful individuals dramatically altered England's destiny, and explores the Catholic Reaction. It starts by setting the scene--the intense relationship between the king and Parliament under Henry VIII and the Protestant changes brought forth by Edward VI. The book also covers the ascent of Thomas Cromwell, whose moves first boosted the king’s power, then faced battles against unlimited ruling. Highlighting Parliament's growth, and the shifting of religious power from the Catholic Church to emerging Protestant groups, the book effectively paints a picture of England in transformation, dealing with the monarchy, church, and its citizens.
