The rise and fall of Thomas Wolsey.
Praised as probably the most important book on Tudor history, this magisterial life of Thomas Wolsey is the result of ten years' research. The conventional view of Wolsey is confirmed in this biography: an arrogant, corrupt, power-hungry collector of wealth and titles, the gross embodiment of the pre-Reformation church who served himself and his papal master rather than King and Country. With 27 black and white illustrations. A heavy book of 1,2 kg
First published 1990 by Barrie & Jenkins, London. Condition: Very good. Previous owner's name on flyleaf.
