"The Last Divine Office - Henry VIII and the Dissolution of the
Monasteries" from BlueBridge Books, by Geoffrey Moorhouse, 278 pages,
hardcover, c. 2008, $24.98

[BlueBridge Books] Exploring the enormous upheaval caused by the
English Reformation and the Dissolution of the Monasteries, this vivid
new history draws on long-forgotten material from the recesses of one
of the world's greatest cathedrals-the great Benedictine Durham
Priory, now the Anglican Durham Cathedral. Once a bastion of the
Benedictine monks in the north of England, the Priory was dissolved
after nearly 500 years on the orders of King Henry VIII in 1539, in
his quest to separate the church in England from its headquarters in
Rome. This illuminating guide to religious history and its social and
political contexts, seen through the arches of one of England's most
celebrated cathedrals, examines the devastating economic and spiritual
consequences of the Dissolution, revealing how one of history's most
effective and chilling apparatus of plunder and ruin erased the orders
of monks and nuns that had served some 650 monastic religious houses
in England and Wales.
