Welcome to our digital critical edition of John Foxe's Book of Martyrs! In particular, this website will focus on the Examination of Anne Askew, an individual chapter in Foxe's larger work. Our hope in annotating, analyzing, and making cultural connections within the original text is to put it in an accessible and useful context that will help readers better understand the circumstances of Anne Askew’s examination and execution.
