In the wake of Henry VIII's break with the Roman Catholic Church, England underwent a profound transformation in its religious practices and legal system. Edward Cardwell's The Reformation of the Ecclesiastical Laws explores this process in detail, tracing the evolution of the English Church and the impact of reformation on the laws governing it. With its rigorous scholarship and engaging prose, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion or law in England.
