Neither easy nor difficult to read. Transcribed from the 1905 Longmans, Green and Co. edition by David Price "John Knox and the Reformation" by Andrew Lang is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and impact of John Knox, a key figure in the Scottish Reformation, aiming to examine his legacy beyond the traditional narratives shaped by later historians and his own writings. It delves into the complexities of his character, critiques his historical self-portrayal, and assesses his role in the tumultuous religious transformations of Scotland. The opening of the book begins with a preface that establishes Lang’s intent to scrutinize the longstanding traditions surrounding Knox’s representation in historical narratives. It underscores the contrasting sentiments towards Knox, highlighting his perceived brutality and the divergent views on his legacy, from reverence to disdain. Lang emphasizes a critical analysis of Knox's historical accounts, arguing that he displayed a blend of authenticity, zeal, and contentious political maneuvering. Additionally, the text provides an overview of Knox's early life, suggesting that he emerged from humble beginnings, yet developed into a formidable advocate for Protestant reform, as evidenced by his uncompromising belief and fervent opposition to Catholic practices.
