Description
A History of the Tudors in 100 Objects by John Matusiak sheds new light on the lives and times of one of Britain's most fascinating periods. This thought-provoking narrative explores the objects left behind, revealing a world of opulence, superstition, and cultural landscape that is both familiar and alien to modern readers. From a silver-gilt board badge discarded at Bosworth Field to a signet ring believed to have belonged to Shakespeare, each object tells a story about the Tudors. Scientific advancements, curiosities, and everyday life are all brought together in this narrative, firmly founded upon contemporary accounts and the latest results of modern scholarship. By examining these 100 objects, Matusiak provides a vivid panorama of Tudor life, challenging common myths and misconceptions along the way.
