The History of England: Tudors by Peter Ackroyd This second volume in Peter Ackroyd's series, The History of England, explores the transformation of England from a settled Catholic country to a Protestant superpower. The story unfolds through the tumultuous reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Elizabeth I, as the country navigates the English Reformation and the making of the Anglican Church. From the cataclysmic break with Rome to the violent reimposition of Catholicism, and from the brief reign of the teenage king, Edward VI, to the long and relatively stable reign of Elizabeth I, this book recounts the complex and often violent history of the Tudor period. The narrative also examines how the English Reformation shaped the country's governance and led to a shift in the way people looked to themselves for answers. The result is a rich and detailed account of a pivotal moment in English history, one that saw the country move away from feudalism and towards a more modern system of governance.
