The history of education can be approached from various angles. In The Reformation and English Education (originally published in 1931) attention is given to the influence of religious policy upon educational agents in England during the period covered by the reigns of King Henry VIII and his three children. The chief object of the book is to show how the Tudors, when faced with the problem of restoring religious unity in England after the break with Rome, followed a consistent policy of controlling education in the interests of religious uniformity.

The subject is treated under the following headings: Schools, schoolmasters, the universities, the religious education of children, preachers and preaching, books and the censorship, Catholic recusants and Puritans. This book will be valuable for researchers studying the intersection of religion, education, and governance during this pivotal period in English history.
