Elton was a classically educated historian of the Tudor era who taught at Clare College, Cambridge University for many years. Conservative in his politics and in his scholarship, it was Elton who argued that Thomas Cromwell was the architect of the modern British parliamentary system and the man who made the English Reformation possible. His work is the foundation upon which Hillary Mantel built her prize-winning "Wolf Hall" and "Bring Up the Bodies." But Elton's work is solid history, not pop non-fiction, so readers expecting a fun romp through 16th century England should look elsewhere. Serious students will love this book, even if they disagree with its conclusions. Highly recommended.
