Focusing on an eclectic group of texts, unified by their explication of the key elements of the cultural history of the period 1510-80, the book unravels the political, poetic and religious themes of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough readings of work by Edmund Spenser, William Tyndale, Sir Thomas More, and John Skelton, as well as less celebrated Tudor writers, Betteridge surveys pre-Henrician literature as well as Henrician Reformation texts, and delineates the literature of the reigns of Edward VI, Mary Tudor, and Elizabeth I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, the book argues that this literature, and the era, should not be understood simply on the basis of conflicts between Protestantism and Catholicism.
