Eamon Duffy provides a controversial and fascinating introduction
to a major historical work. This series is intended to attract a
new generation of readers to some of the greatest narrative history
ever written. Each volume will include substantial extracts from a
major work of history, prefaced by a major new introduction by a
modern authority. Attractively designed, the series will hope to
demonstrate the extraordinary tradition that exists of great
history writing in the English language. The books are directed to
a general as well as a student readership. Eamon Duffy has restored
the late medieval period as a subject of serious research through
his revolutionary book "The Stripping of the Altars" (Yale
University Press). In recent years, he has turned his attention to
the reign of Mary Tudor and in his recent Birkbeck Lectures
(University of Cambridge), he has fought back against the false
interpretations of historians like David Starkey. J.A. Froude was
one of the finest English literary stylists of the Victorian age.
But he was highly critical of Mary Tudor, whose reign he viewed as
something of a disaster. Eamon Duffy takes a very different view
and so this book will spark off even more controversy about this
most maligned of English monarchs.
