Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A controversial reassessment, arguing that Mary's regime was neither inept or backward-looking, and instead reversed the religious revolution imposed by Edward VI.

Publisher's description:

The reign of Mary Tudor has been remembered as an era of sterile repression, when a reactionary monarch launched a doomed attempt to reimpose Catholicism on an unwilling nation. This book argues that Mary's regime was neither inept nor backward-looking.
