J.A. Froude's Mary Tudor by Eamon Duffy
J.A. Froude was one of the finest English literary stylists of the Victorian age. But he was highly critical of Mary Tudor, whose reign he viewed as something of a disaster. Eamon Duffy takes a very different view and so this book will spark off even more controversy about this most maligned of English monarchs.
Thoroughly enjoyable.. Froude's prose is very entertaining ... hats off to Duffy, the least likely champion of this now neglected historian, for reminding us of this fact. -- Catholic Herald
Duffy showcases [Froude's] facility for characterisation and the dramatic incident. In these pages, Froude ranges from the death of Edward VI to an indignant concluding apostrophe on Marian tyranny... Duffy includes a number of Froude's vivid descriptions of [the heretics'] burnings, including the martyrdoms of Ridley, Latimer and Cranmer in Oxford. -- History House of Oxford
