The Protestant Revolution - A Reformation of the Mind

Four-part documentary series in which historian Tristram Hunt explores the scientific, cultural, economic and political aspects of Protestantism. In 16th century Britain, radical Protestants triggered a great act of vandalism by wiping out Catholic monasteries, churches and artwork. But their cultural revolution went much further, leading to art galleries and the creation of the novel, as well as driving on a new scientific age that spanned the discovery of gravity to the Industrial Revolution.
