Their variedcareers, (which encompass the martyrdom of Saint John Fisher, incarceration in a prison ship in the Civil War and preaching at the burning of heretics on Cathedral Green at Ely), illustrate the interactions betweenthe academic community and the social, religious, cultural and politicallife in Britain, over five and a half centuries.
