The translation of the Bible into English in the 16th century was one of the most important events in English history. Previously, the sacred text had been accessible only to a tiny minority, now anybody could read or listen to it. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The writing was pretty dry and I struggled to keep my attention focused on the book. Some days I couldn't even read a page before putting it down. More important, though, was the author's assumption the reader is well-educated in 17th-century British history. There were names of many people I'd never heard of, so I didn't know their religious or political views and how they're interrelated. I quickly got lost and confused trying to read the book.
This book is clearly intended for people who have extensive knowledge of 17th-century Britain and its religious and political views. For that select group of people (perhaps graduate students in history and professional historians), I could see this books contains a treasure trove of information, and it would probably be rated 4-5 stars. For a person without that historical knowledge, this book will be confusing and tedious. ( )
