Description
The sixteenth century remains a period of great resonance and mystery in British history. The leading figures of the time have become almost mythical, and the terrors and grandeurs of Tudor Britain continue to appeal to readers. At the heart of this tumultuous era lies a profound religious divide, as Protestantism clashed with the old world of uniform Catholicism.
This great religious rift had far-reaching consequences, from Henry VIII's break with Rome to the threat of the Spanish Armada. Susan Brigden's 'New Worlds, Lost Worlds' is a compelling and atmospheric exploration of this pivotal period, one that sheds new light on the complex and often violent world of Tudor Britain.
