Summary "The Dissolution of the Monasteries" by Francis Aidan Hibbert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work specifically explores the historic suppression of monasteries in Staffordshire during the period of Henry VIII's reign, focusing on local aspects rather than broader national narratives. The book likely aims to challenge prevailing views about the motivations behind the Dissolution, suggesting that financial greed rather than moral or anti-papal sentiments were the primary drivers of these decisions. The opening of the book sets the stage for a thorough investigation of the dissolution process, emphasizing a dedication to unbiased historical inquiry supported by firsthand facts and data. The author mentions his commitment to limit the study to Staffordshire, arguing that this focused approach will provide clearer insights into the local conditions leading to the suppression of monasteries. Hibbert addresses the complexity of the financial aspects of the monasteries, contending that while many narratives exaggerate their wealth and influence, his analysis will rely on documented facts to shed light on the true nature of these institutions and their eventual fate.
