Foxe's Book of Martyrs

Focusing on the historical persecution of Christians, particularly English Protestants, this work chronicles the experiences of martyrs from the fourteenth century to the reign of Mary I. Written by John Foxe during his exile in Strasbourg, it was first published in 1563 and significantly influenced British views of the Catholic Church. Widely read among English Puritans, it became a staple in churches and homes during Elizabeth's reign. This 19th-century abridged edition offers an accessible version of Foxe's extensive account, printed on premium acid-free paper.
