For the Master's Sake, by Emily Sarah Holt.
________________________________________________________________________
The story is set in the middle of the sixteenth century, in London, at a
time when a Catholic Queen had succeeded to the throne, shortly to marry
King Philip of Spain. The Protestant Bishops were replaced with
Catholic ones, in particular Bonner, Bishop of London, and these set
about murderously dealing with the least signs of Protestantism.
All this is very confusing to the average person, and that is what the
story is about. Just fairly ordinary citizens of London, trying to work
out what they are supposed to think and do.
The author was a strong Protestant, and this makes her arguments all the
stronger.
