English Catholic historians and the English Reformation, 1585-1954

"English Catholic Historians and the English Reformation, 1585-1954 supplies information long missing from the Reformation Debate. In exploring the divergent opinions of Catholic historians, John Vidmar offers a critique of the body of Catholic writing and discover that, quite simply, there is no Catholic "version" of the English Reformation. By evaluating Catholic historical writing as a whole, he reaches conclusions which have not been hitherto possible by treating individual historians. Patterns and directions of Catholic thought over four centuries are illuminated, and a basis is set for a new "revisionism" on the Reformation in England."--BOOK JACKET
