This book is based on the confident belief that Western Civilization must be studied in the light of late medieval and early modern history.  It demonstrates that the history of the 19th and 20th centuries is not in fact more 'relevant' than earlier periods.  Of great value for today's history students, this text displays and clarifies the many interrelated facets of history during this formative period: political, economic, religious, and above all, cultural and scientific.

The age of humanism and reformation: Europe in the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries

PRENTICE/HALL

This book presents a new edition of the classic study of the religious changes that transformed England in the sixteenth century.
Henry VIII officially brought the Protestant Reformation to England in the 1530s when he severed the English Church from the Papacy. But the seeds of the movement, according to A.G.Dickens, were planted much earlier. The English Reformation, first published in 1964, follows the movement from its late medieval origins through the settlement of Elizabeth I in 1559 and the rise of Puritanism.

The reform of the Catholic Church in the sixteenth century was historically as important as the contemporary Protestant Reformation. Though never committed solely to fighting Protestantism, it inevitably also became a Counter Reformation, since it soon face the threat created by Luther and his successors. The century between the career of Ignatius Loyola nad that of Vincent de Paul became a classic age of Catholicism. The lives of its saints, popes and secular champions could hardly be made more fascinating by any novelist. A must-read for Catholics or for anyone who wishes to greater understand the bedrock of Western Civilization and the beginning of Two Cultures in Europe and the world.
