| Summary: | The Pilgrimage of Grace of 1536 inspired a propaganda campaign that defined loyalty and obedience to Henry VIII and his Reformation. Most of the writing was commissioned from the court, but independent protestations of loyalty also emerged, including a verse apology, A dyalogue bitwene the playntife and the Defendaunt, produced by William Calverley, a Yorkshire gentleman rebel. Inspired by Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy, Calverley's work documents an individual's psychological journey from rebellion to obedience. In a conversation between an imprisoned rebel and a ghostly voice of reason, the Dyalogue addresses and condemns many of the pilgrim's demands while it reinforces the Tudor doctrine of obedience. |
