Following on from Foundation, Tudors is the second volume in Peter
Ackroyd's astonishing series, The History of England. Rich in
detail and atmosphere and told in vivid prose, Tudors recounts the
transformation of England from a settled Catholic country to a
Protestant superpower. It is the story of Henry VIII's cataclysmic
break with Rome, and his relentless pursuit of both the perfect
wife and the perfect heir; of how the brief reign of the teenage
king, Edward VI, gave way to the violent reimposition of
Catholicism and the stench of bonfires under 'Bloody Mary'. It
tells, too, of the long reign of Elizabeth I, which, though marked
by civil strife, plots against the queen and even an invasion
force, finally brought stability. Above all, however, it is the
story of the English Reformation and the making of the Anglican
Church. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, England was
still largely feudal and looked to Rome for direction; at its end,
it was a country where good governance was the duty of the state,
not the church, and where men and women began to look to themselves
for answers rather than to those who ruled them.
