About this book

John Fisher, 1469-1535 was a figure of European stature during the Tudor age. His many roles included those of bishop, humanist, theologian, cardinal, and ultimately martyr. This study places him in the context of sixteenth-century Christendom, focusing not just on his resistance to Henry VIII, but also on his active engagement with the renaissance and reformation.

Reviews

'A work of sustained and painstaking scholarship, Fisher of Men is the fruit of years of research, an enormously valuable resource for the student of John Fisher.' - The Tablet
