Reddit reviews The Voices of Morebath: Reformation and Rebellion in an English Village

So you just want a suggested reading/watching list basically, is that what you’re saying? If so, I would recommend:

Reading about:

• The Medici family of Florence
  
  
• The life and times of Dante Alighieri
  
  
• The life and times of John Dee
  
  
• The Tetrabiblos
  
  
• The Siege of Munster
  
  
• The St. Bartholomew's Day massacre
  
  I would also read:
  
  
• Simone Weill’s Gravity and Grace
  
  
• St Augustine’s [The City of God](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_City_of_God_(book)
  
  
• Eamon Duffy’s The Voices of Morebath: Reformation and Rebellion in an English Village
  
  
• Dairmaird MacCulloch’s Reformation : Europe's House Divided 1490-1700
  
  
• Norman Cohn's The Pursuit Of The Millennium: Revolutionary Millenarians and Mystical Anarchists of the Middle Ages
  
  
• Sir James George Frazer’s The Golden Bough
  
  I would also definitely give the underrated [Borgias](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Borgias_(2011_TV_series) TV Box set series a watching - there are lots of good bits in it, but Girolamo Savonarola’s Florence is particularly well done.
  
  Also the actor who plays Machiavelli in that is great, as is the actress who plays Caterina Sforza
