Books by G.W. Bernard

Henry VIII's reformation remains among the most crucial yet misunderstood events in English history. This work presents the king as neither confused nor a pawn in the hands of manipulative factions. Henry, a monarch who ruled as well as reigned, is revealed instead as the determining mover of religious policy throughout this momentous period.

Characterized by an interest in the nature and expression of power in Tudor England, this is a collection of essays by George Bernard. Chapters range from detailed studies of the political and religious history of the reign of Henry VIII to more general accounts of early-modern architecture.
