The only historical dictionary that focuses on sixteenth-century
England, this reference work offers nearly 300 articles on the age
of the English Tudors. The England of Shakespeare, Henry VIII, and
Elizabeth I is one of the most popular periods of British history.
Ronald H. Fritze and his associate editors have identified the
political, military, religious, social, and economic issues that
were crucial to the era, and have compiled articles, a chronology
and suggestions for further reading on each topic.
Sixty Tudor England specialists contributed to the nearly 300
entries, each of which includes an appendix with a chronology and a
selected bibliography for further reading. The entries, ranging
from 250-2000 words each, discuss people, events, laws,
institutions and special topics such as exploration. They are
written to be understood by the educated non-specialist. The
primary focus is on England, but a number of articles on Scottish
and Irish history have been included when they relate to England.
This work is valuable to students, scholars and anyone interested
in sixteenth century England, English Renaissance literature, or
history.
