This book recasts one of the most well-studied and
popularly-beloved eras in history: the tumultuous span from the
1485 accession of Henry VII to the 1603 death of Elizabeth I.
Though many have gravitated toward this period for its high drama
and national importance, the book offers a new narrative by
focusing on another facet of the British past that has exercised an
equally powerful grip on audiences: imperialism. It argues that the
sixteenth century was pivotal to the making of both Britain and the
British Empire. Unearthing over a century of theorizing about and
probing into the world beyond England's borders, Tudor Empire shows
that foreign enterprise at once mirrored, responded to, and
provoked domestic politics and culture, while decisively shaping
the Atlantic World. Demonstrating that territorial expansion abroad
and national consolidation and identity formation at home were
concurrent, intertwined, and mutually reinforcing, the author
examines some of the earliest ventures undertaken by the crown and
its subjects in France, Scotland, Ireland, and the Americas. Tudor
Empire is a thought-provoking, essential read for those interested
in the Tudors and the British Empire that they helped create.
