Thomas Cranmer's place in English history is firmly established, yet the complexities of his character have remained obscure and he continues to be one of the most problematic figures of the Tudor period. He was blessed with several lifelong friendships and twice risked his career by marrying the women he loved. Susan Wabuda's biography sheds fresh light not only on the private Cranmer, but also on the qualities that enabled him to master a shifting political landscape and to build a new English Church.Athletic by nature, Cranmer enjoyed hunting and he was a keen collector of books.
Obedient at all times, yet never entirely trustworthy, he had to reconcile the will of his God with the will of the monarch he served. A skilled debater and a deft politician, Cranmer sought to balance his long-term plans for the Church against the immediate demands of survival at court.
