About this audiobook
By What Authority? is Robert Hugh Benson's first in a series of three novels designed to tell the story of the English Reformation from the Catholic point of view. This he achieved without the use of the stereotypes that characterised virtually all such productions in his day to the detriment of both sides of the question. (Goodreads)
