Description
England Under the Tudors by Geoffrey Rudolph Elton is a comprehensive history of a pivotal period in British and European history. Spanning from the commencement of Henry VII's reign to the death of Elizabeth I, this magisterial account examines the monumental changes that took place during this time, including shifts in religion, monarchy, and government. Elton's work is notable for its detailed analysis of the period, covering topics such as empire, commonwealth, agriculture, industry, seapower, and the role of the arts and literature. The book is populated by influential figures, including Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cranmer, and Thomas Cromwell, and offers a nuanced understanding of the Tudor period. Revised several times since its first publication in 1955, this edition includes a new foreword by Diarmaid MacCulloch, providing a fresh perspective on this significant historical period. This Routledge Classics edition is an excellent choice for anyone interested in the Tudor era and its lasting impact on British history.
