A review by sophronisba
Fires of Faith: Catholic England Under Mary Tudor by Eamon Duffy

challenging informative reflective sad medium-paced

3.75

More approachable than Duffy's The Voices of Morebath, informative & well-researched. Duffy's points about seeing Mary's reign in context of sixteenth-century religious beliefs in Europe are well-taken. But I struggle with the generally approving tone toward the religious policy of a reign that burned 300 "heretics" alive.
