Behind the polished image of Elizabethan Anglicanism stood conscientious, embattled churchmen. His conscience refused easy compromise. In this landmark Anglican Reformation biography, John Strype draws out the life of Edmund Grindal, first Bishop of London under Elizabeth I and successively Archbishop of York and Canterbury, against the turbulent background of Elizabethan church reform and court politics. A classic of English ecclesiastical history, it opens a vivid window onto 16th century Anglicanism, from exile and return to the struggles over preaching, conformity, and royal authority. Structured in two substantial books and accompanied by an appendix of original manuscripts transcribed from state and church archives, Strype interweaves narrative, correspondence, and official papers into a rich Edmund Grindal biography. The result is an indispensable church history reference book for Reformation history students and for general readers assembling a Tudor church history book collection, interested in Archbishop of Canterbury history, Elizabethan England church history, and the intertwined careers of Grindal and his contemporaries better known from a Thomas Cranmer biography. Personal piety, political pressure, and the shaping of a national church meet on every page. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For lovers of serious biography, students of 16th century Anglicanism, and classic-literature enthusiasts seeking a cornerstone of English ecclesiastical history in their private library, Strype's study offers depth, authority, and enduring cultural significance.
