The Pilgrims' Complaint: A Study of Popular Thought in the Early Tudor North (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780754667858)

Thanks to its character as a rising of the commons, and the survival of extensive documentary evidence, the Pilgrimage of Grace offers a fascinating insight into how the people of the north of England, on the eve of the Reformation, thought about religion, social relations and politics. In this book, Michael Bush opens up an alternative and dynamic means of exploring the popular mentality of the time through an examination of the wide variety of sources generated by the rebels, rather than relying on the social, political and religious views set out in contemporary treaties and sermons towing the government's line.
