ABSTRACT

In 1536 Richard Morison returned to England after living in the household of Reginald Pole at Padua. His passage home was paid by Thomas Cromwell and he at once became one of the leading Cromwellian publicists (Elton, 1972: ch. 4; Zeeveld, 1948). His book A Remedy for Sedition was printed by Berthelet, the king’s printer, within a few weeks of the outbreak of the Pilgrimage of Grace: this is taken from the second edition of 1537, sigs. A2rv, B3v (but see also Berkowitz, 1984).
