Subject: Historical Accuracy
I appreciate Kozuka's response. I hope that my comments are not taken
as piling on, that is not my intent at all.
>Many copies of his translation were seized and
>burned, as was Tyndale himself.
Memory does not serve: were copies of Tydale's Bible burnt with his
body? The idea that Tyndale was strangled and then his body burnt is
not consonant with my impression of the transpirings. I may be wrong,
but I thought he was taken to the pile and strangled at the post
immediately prior to the conflagration. I think that I ought also to
have remembered the Martyr's (Foxe's?) last words, about opening the
King of England's eyes, but I don't have them handy.
All the best,
R. A. Cantrell

Takashi Kozuka recommends,
>To SHAKESPEReans who want to
>know more about Cranmer [. . .] Diarmaid MacCulloch's Thomas
>Cranmer: A Life (1996). (It's nearly 700 pages, though!)
Those who want a review before plunging into the nearly 700 pages, might
want to see mine, at EMLS: http://www.shu.ac.uk/emls/04-3/lawrrev.html
Cheers,
