Description
Tudor England is a comprehensive history of the period from Henry VII's capture of the crown in 1485 to the death of Elizabeth I in 1603. John Guy's book is the most complete account of this pivotal moment in English history in over thirty years, drawing on the most thorough knowledge of the sources and literature relating to the Tudors. Guy's book offers a fresh perspective on the progress of the English Reformation and the strengths and weaknesses of Tudor government, with lively character studies of monarchs and politicians. The main themes of the period are closely analysed, with topics such as the economy and society, and political culture, placed firmly in their historical context. With its authoritative and comprehensive approach, this book provides a clear and engaging narrative of Tudor England, enriched by detailed analysis of the period's key issues.
