About this book

Tudor and Stuart Britain charts the political, religious, economic and social history of Britain from the start of Henry VII's reign in 1485 to the death of Queen Anne in 1714, providing students and lecturers with a detailed chronological narrative of significant events, such as the Reformation, the nature of Tudor government, the English Civil War, the Interregnum and the restoration of the monarchy.

This fourth edition has been fully updated and each chapter now begins with an introductory overview of the topic being discussed, in which important and current historical debates are highlighted. Other new features of the book include a closer examination of the image and style of leadership that different monarchs projected during their reigns; greater coverage of Phillip II and Mary I as joint monarchs; new sections exploring witchcraft during the period and the urban sector in the Stuart age; and increased discussion of the English Civil War, of Oliver Cromwell and of Cromwellian rule during the 1650s.

Also containing an entirely rewritten guide to further reading and enhanced by a wide selection of maps and illustrations, Tudor and Stuart Britain is an excellent resource for both students and teachers of this period.

of 
Henry

by

after

can 
be 
dated 
to 
around 
1505 
and 
may 
have 
been 
prepared 
as 
part 
of 
a

unsuccessful 
proposal 
for 
the 
by 
then 
widowed 
Henry 
to 
take
as 
his 
second 
wife 
a 
daughter 
of 
the 
Holy 
Roman 
Empire. 
It 
shows 
Henry 
clutching
the 
red 
rose 
of 
Lancaster, 
his 
face 
clean-shaven, 
his 
lips 
thin 
and 
slightly 
pursed, 
his
cheeks 
hollow, 
his 
eyes 
beady 
and 
watchful.
