John Foxe
John Foxe (1517-87) was one of the most influential writers of the English Reformation. In the forty years between 1547 and his death he produced some forty works in English and Latin. However, both in his own lifetime and since he has been principally known for only one of them, The Acts and Monuments of the English Martyrs.
