This new addition to the Women Writers in English series records Anne Askew's narrative of her imprisonment for heresy and her interrogation by officials of church and state in the last days of Henry VIII. As a spiritual autobiography, a historical document, and a carefully crafted polemic, the work provides insight into Reformation politics and society in England.
For those readers unacquainted with sixteenth century English prose the text remains difficult to read, but it repays the effort. ...this will prove very useful for seminar studies in Tudor Reformation history as a basic as well as unusually gripping text. * Archive for Reformation History *
