Description
This book is a compilation of sources that illustrate the tumultuous history of England during the Tudor and Stuart periods. The first part of the book provides a political context to help interpret the events that took place during this time, such as the reformation, regicide, restoration, and revolution. The second part of the book is devoted to these events and tells the stories of the people involved.
This collection draws together a fascinating selection of sources to illuminate this turbulent era of English history. From the bloody overthrow of Richard III in 1485, to the creation of a worldwide imperial state under Queen Anne, these sources illustrate England's difficult transition from the medieval to the modern. Divided into two parts, the first set of documents provides a political context to help interpret the reformation, regicide, restoration and revolution, which occurred in tumultuous succession. The second set of documents is devoted to these upheavals, and reveals the politics in action that shaped their course. Covering a period characterized by conflict and division, this wide-ranging single-volume collection presents the accounts of Yorkists and Lancastrians, Protestants and Catholics, and Roundheads and Cavaliers side by side.
