A non-accredited history and heritage course

Course Description

Drawing upon recent studies of the English Reformation, this course will challenge the traditional view that England uniformly and enthusiastically embraced the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation. What were the limits of change under Henry VIII? How significant was organised Catholic opposition to Protestant reform including major rebellions in 1529, 1549 and 1569? To what extent did traditional devotion survive? We will also look at the degree of State coercion required to impose the new religious conformity by 1603.
