Description
Two short reigns tear England apart in the fourth volume of Froude's History, from 1858. Edward the Sixth, a boy king, backs a bold Protestant experiment. Mary then restores Rome's faith and burns heretics in her Catholic reaction.
Froude tells the religious seesaw with pace and strong feeling. Prayer books change, altars rise and fall, and subjects pay in blood. Each reign undoes the other's work within a few short years. The volume sets the stage for Elizabeth's settlement, showing a nation weary of swings in faith and hungry for a steady hand on the throne at last.
