Early modern England, 1485-1714

by R. O. Bucholz, Robert Bucholz, Newton Key

"Early Modern England 1485-1714: A Narrative History is a lively, up-to-date survey of the Tudor-Stuart period. The narrative shows how England transformed itself from a feudal and relatively minor European state into a constitutional monarchy and the wealthiest and most powerful nation on Earth. The story of struggles over governmental and religious policies is enlivened by clear shapshots of how social and cultural changes affected ordinary English people at the beginning, middle, and end of the period. The authors also show how Irish, Scottish, and Welsh developments affected English history." "Written by two leading scholars and experienced teachers of the subject, Early Modern England assumes no prior knowledge of English history. Student aids to the text include maps, illustrations, and genealogies."--Jacket.
