Describing the last period of Scotland's existence as an independent kingdom, the major focus of this volume is the events and consequences of the Reformation, that crucial episode which ushered in tremendous spiritual and secular change. Professor Wormald shows how Scotland's rulers, all formidably powerful (with the exception of Mary) and highly cultured, governed a society whose economic and social bonds were still in many ways 'medieval'.

Scribblie Reader

Interesting and readable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

I found this book excellent. Having read the earlier books in the series, I was afraid it might be a bit heavy-going (I'm not a specialist, just an interested layperson), but I found it very readable and comprehensible, and enjoyed it.

D. Halliday

Quite good but quite expensive for a fairly short and dated book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a wee bit dated now but this fairly short book presents a good overview of Scotland in the Reformation period with particular regard to politics and religion.

The author is extremely hostile to Mary Stewart but in this particular book, that's a very peripheral flaw.

Although there's nothing important to criticise about Wormald's book, for a similar price, Jane Dawson's more modern and more substantial book on the same subject matter seems a better choice eg.

Fascinating

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

All the focus of that period tends to be on Mary Queen of Scots but Jenny Wormald has covered much more than that. Not only does it cover the politics of the period but also the culture. Excellent.

Briskly written with some dry humour, very clear exposition of Scotland in the crucial era.
