Historian

James Anthony Froude (1818-94), a historian and scholar of Carlyle, published this twelve-page English Reformation period between 1858 and 1870. This work is shaped by Froude's strong belief that the Reformation has enabled the recent development and expansion of 'progressive intelligence' in England. His style of dress was criticized by some historians, but his style of narrative and good involvement made his work very popular with the general public, and the literature had a great influence. The first six volumes refer to the Reformation from the exodus from Rome until the entry of Elizabeth I in 1558, and the remaining six chronicles the reign of Elizabeth I, culminating in the defeat of the Spanish Armada of Spain. Volume 1 recounts the final years of Wolsey's influence, the changed relations between Church and State, and the marriage of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn
