Renaissance and Reform in Tudor England: The Careers of Sir Richard Morison c.1513-1556

Tracey A. Sowerby (Junior Research Fellow, Pembroke College, Oxford, and British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellow)

Sir Richard Morison (c.1513-1556) is best known as Henry VIII’s most prolific propagandist. Yet he was also an accomplished scholar, politician, theologian and diplomat who was linked to the leading political and religious figures of his day. Despite his prominence, Morison has never received a full historical treatment. Based on extensive archival research, Renaissance and Reform in Tudor England provides a well-rounded picture of Morison that contributes significantly to the broader questions of intellectual, cultural, religious, and political history. Tracey Sowerby contextualizes Morison within each of his careers: he is considered as a propagandist, politician, reformer, diplomat and Marian exile. Morison emerges as a more influential and original figure than previously thought.
