Format:Paperback
Tillbrook impressively manages to cover the entire reigns of Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I in less than 200 pages. The amount of detail is just right - despite being concise, there is enough information included in order to be able to pick and choose material to support one's own line of argument in an examination.
A short introduction to the textbook provides contextual information in order to familiarise readers with Tudor England; this is invaluable as it means students can gain a full understanding of the time period in order to be in the best position to answer examination questions. Historiography is excellently covered throughout the textbook and historians' quotes mean that students do not have to read dozens of other books! The conclusion is useful for considering the synoptic questions, as it provides broad summaries of the different areas of Elizabeth's reign, and evaluates her success generally as a monarch.
The chapters are based on the bullet-point lists of topics on the AQA syllabus, meaning that the textbook is very easy to follow in terms of examination purposes. Stylistically, the material is also very accessible, and each chapter contains side-notes providing context, interesting extra points and activities. Essay questions are also suggested throughout, and are very useful for exam preparation. Within each chapter the information is arranged thematically, reflecting areas examined, and timelines both at the beginning of and throughout the textbook help to organise this information chronologically.
Having read other textbooks which cover this time period, I can say that this one was definitely the best, and I would highly recommend it to other students.

I'm trying to get an A* in History, and without this book I don't know how I'd have a chance. It is tailored to the exam, and split up in to nine sections which manage to cross-reference each other, to help develop the readers' understanding of the synoptic elements in the course. Historiographical argument is tricky to explain, but Tillbrook does it with such lucidity that I feel confident talking and writing about academic research in relation to Elizabeth I.
The only problem is that - especially in the middle section - the word 'moreover' is used about once a paragraph. It adds nothing to the content of the sentences it begins, and only serves to convolute. Moreover, I don't know how the editor(s) let this go. The word should probably be annihilated on republication.
