(Apparently, this was Reformation week.)
- Robert Edric, Cradle Song (Black Swan, 2004). First in a trilogy of literary mysteries.
- Gordon Dahlquist, The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters (Bantam, 2006). Neo-Victorian-fantasy-mystery-thriller.
- Anon., Medieval and Modern Saints and Miracles (Harper, 1876). American anti-Catholic text that also circulated in England.
- William Cunningham, Reformers and the Theology of the Reformation (1862; rpt. Banner of Truth, 1979). Reprint of a lecture series. Brief account of Cunningham here.
- John E. Curran, Jr., Roman Invasions: The British History, Protestant Anti-Romanism, and the Historical Imagination in England, 1530-1660 (Delaware, 2002). Geoffrey of Monmouth and Reformation historiography.
- Richard Rex, Henry VIII and the English Reformation (Palgrave Macmillan, 1993). Brief overview; part of the British History in Perspective series.
- Diarmaid MacCulloch, Later Reformation in England, 1547-1603 (Palgrave Macmillan, 1990). Another book in the series.
May I just quickly say, I love Diarmaid MacCullough's biography of Cranmer! Also liked his overview of the Reformation...

I enjoy your blog, especially the lists. I am a Political Science professor but also a book addict (though, I must admit, I do not have 6K).

Along the lines of the Cunningham book, but directed solely at Lutheranism, I recommend Charles Porterfield Krauth's The Conservative Reformation and its Theology, 1871.
Good list.
