Product Description

Review
'The best full-length introductory history of the Tudor period ... Written with great verve, it will delight both the scholar and the general reader.' – The Spectator

'Students of history owe Elton major debts. He has shown that political history is still worth investigation, that it offers the possibility of exciting discovery and genuine debate. He has demonstrated that scholarly work can be presented in prose that is witty, muscular, clear and above everything, readable.' – The Times Education Supplement

Product Description
First published in 1955 and never out of print, this wonderfully written text by one of the greatest historians of the twentieth century has guided generations of students through the turbulent history of Tudor England.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Tudor History Book I've Read, 2 Oct 2008
Prof Elton's book spans the entire Tudor period from the Battle of Bosworth to the death of Elizabeth I. The book's triumphant central theme is summed up in the last sentences: "The state was built anew, government restored and reformed, enterprise encouraged, faith rekindled. The good part survived, the bad past died...a new and greater England emerged from the day-to-day turmoil of life." In exploring this subject, Prof Elton devotes entire chapters to e.g. Thomas Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell and Elizabethan seapower. In contrast, the reigns of Edward VI and Mary are summed up, and dismissed, in 20 pages.

However, this book is a must read for anyone interested in, or studying the Tudors. Prof Elton's writing style is both readable and witty. He demonstrates a clear mastery and enthusiasm for his subject matter.
