Summary "Cardinal Wolsey" by Mandell Creighton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and career of Thomas Wolsey, a prominent statesman and cardinal during the reign of Henry VIII, focusing on the complexities of his political maneuvers in early 16th-century Europe. The narrative explores Wolsey's significant yet often underappreciated role in shaping England's foreign policy and asserting its influence on the European stage. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of the political landscape of Europe between 1494 and 1512, discussing the decline of the medieval state system and the emergence of new political dynamics. It introduces Wolsey as a figure distinct from his contemporaries, highlighting his unique ability to navigate the complicated world of diplomacy during a time of upheaval and shifting alliances. The text emphasizes Wolsey's strategic choices, particularly in foreign affairs, and his contribution to enhancing England's status in Europe, laying the groundwork for exploring the implications of his actions on the course of English history.
