""Under Which King? A Novel"" by William Johnston is a historical fiction book that takes place in the 16th century during the reign of King Henry VIII of England. The story follows the life of a young man named Thomas More, who is a lawyer and a close friend of the king. More is torn between his loyalty to the king and his religious beliefs, as he is a devout Catholic who disagrees with the king's decision to break from the Roman Catholic Church.As More rises in power and influence, he becomes embroiled in the political and religious turmoil of the time, including the king's divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and his subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn. More's refusal to acknowledge the king's authority over the Church leads to his eventual downfall, and he is executed for treason.Throughout the book, Johnston explores themes of loyalty, faith, and the struggle between personal beliefs and political power. The novel is rich in historical detail, providing a vivid portrayal of life in Tudor England. ""Under Which King? A Novel"" is a compelling and thought-provoking read for fans of historical fiction and those interested in the Tudor era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
