Book Synopsis
A biography of Edward VI, drawing a portrait of the boy king as a highly precocious, well educated, intellectually confident and decisive youth, with clear views on the future of the English church. Jennifer Loach also supplies the dramatic context in which Edward's short reign was played out.

Trade Review
"Edward VI counters the popular image of a sickly king doomed to die, and instead presents Edward as a vital, active and conventionally aristocratic boy... Edward VI has to be valued as an early step on a challenging historical journey, and an appropriate final volume by a distinguished historian of the Tudor century." Stephen Alford, Times Literary Supplement "Essential reading... Loach draws on considerable unpublished research by other scholars and brings her own valuable insights to many issues." Choice "A tour de force." Peter Newman Brooks, Expository Times
