The historian John Strype (1643–1737) published his monumental Elizabethan religious history Annals of the Reformation between 1709 and 1731. For over two and a half centuries it remained one of the most important Protestant histories of the period and has been reprinted in numerous editions. It covers from the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558 to the beginning of the reign of James I. The sources, transcribed by Strype, include state papers, official proclamations, royal records, and letters. Strype's thorough use of primary sources and the enormous scope and detail of his history has ensured its place as an outstanding work of eighteenth-century scholarship. It should be read by every student of Elizabethan religious history.
