'Popular Politics and the English Reformation' provides an in depth investigation into the popular responses to the English Reformation.

Rather than focusing on the conversion of English subjects to a new religion, the author is more intrigued by the subjects' political responses to the Reformation - perceived as an act of state and consequently negotiated between government and people. These responses included resistance, as well as accommodation and collaboration.

Consequently, Ethan H. Shagan puts forward an intriguing argument that answers the scholarly dilemma of how the English Reformation could have succeeded despite the inherent conservatism of the English people.

Ethan H. Shagan is the author of related books, such as 'Catholics and the Protestant Nation: Religious Politics and Identity in Early Modern England.'
