Beschreibung:
Geoffrey Moorhouse was the author of 20 books, including the Thomas Cook Award-winning "To the Frontier" and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist "Sun Dancing."
The Last Divine Office explores the enormous upheaval caused by the English Reformation, drawing for his sources on material that has lain forgotten in one of the world's great cathedrals. He recreates in vivid detail what life was like in a major monastery before the Dissolution began in 1536, and how that life was forever transformed on the orders of King Henry VIII.
