This research monograph is a long needed one volume approach to not only the subject but to the extensive contributions to English religious history made by Duffy, MacCulloch, Wormsley, Haigh and a number of others. Its great strength is positing an armature of viviparous politics and social tensions that continually broke down attempts at a single vision for Anglicanism despite all official Church and State efforts. Chapter 1 "Lord, Open the King of England's Eyes" 1529-1547; Chapter 2 Tudor Church Militant 1547-1553; Chapter 3 Fires of Faith 1553-1558; Chapter 4 "No name calling" 1558-1570; Chapter 5 "Christian my name, Catholic my surname" 1570-1603; Chapter 6 The Beauty of Holiness and its Consequences 1603-1642; Chapter 7 A War of Religion, A Puritan Revolution 1642-1688; Chapter 8 The Church of England Triumphant 1660-1688; Chapter 9 A Measure of Toleration Achieved 1689-1829.
Dr. Antonia Southern is an historian and biographer. She is the author of Forlorn Hope: Soldier Radicals of the Seventeenth Century , Player, Playwright and Preacher's Kid: The Story of Nathan Field , 1587-1620 and The Queen's Godson: Sir John Harington of Kelston, 1560-1612 (Academica Press, 2011)
Antonia Southern's narrative is deeply informed and intelligently wrought...In fact, in House Divided, Southern integrates a wide variety of materials-biographical, political, textual, and theological-into a surprisingly singular history. For the first time, for instance, I came to see the sixteenth-century English rebellions as coherent parts of a larger cultural and religious history rather than periodic disruptions. More important, I finished this book admiring its erudition and glad that it had found its way onto my bookshelf." - Dr Mary Jane Barnett, Tyndale Quarterly
