Description
J.A. Froude was one of the finest English literary stylists of the Victorian age. But he was highly critical of Mary Tudor, whose reign he viewed as something of a disaster. Eamon Duffy takes a very different view and so this book will spark off even more controversy about this most maligned of English monarchs.

-
Thoroughly enjoyable ... Froude's prose is very entertaining ... hats off to Duffy, the least likely champion of this now neglected historian, for reminding us of this fact.

Duffy showcases [Froude's] facility for characterisation and the dramatic incident. In these pages, Froude ranges from the death of Edward VI to an indignant concluding apostrophe on Marian tyranny... Duffy includes a number of Froude's vivid descriptions of [the heretics'] burnings, including the martyrdoms of Ridley, Latimer and Cranmer in Oxford.
