Praise for the author:: 'For anyone researching the subject, this
is the book you've been waiting for.' Washington Post From the
death of Richard III on Bosworth Field in 1485 to the execution of
Charles I after the Civil Wars of 1642-48, England was transformed
by two dynasties. First, the Tudors, who had won the crown on the
battlefield, changed both the nature of kingship and the nation
itself. England became Protestant and began to establish itself as
a trading power; facing down seemingly impossible odds, it defeated
its enemies on land and sea. But after a century, Elizabeth I died
with no heir and the crown was passed to the Stuarts, who sought to
remould the kingdom in their own image. Leading authority on the
history of the British Isles in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, Ronald Hutton brilliantly recreates the political
landscape of this early modern period and shows how the modern
nation was forged in these febrile, transformative years. Combining
skilful pen portraits of the leading figures of the day with
descriptions of its culture, economics and vivid accounts of
everyday life, Hutton provides telling insights into this critical
period on Britain's national history. This the second book in the
landmark four-volume Brief History of Britain which brings together
leading historians to tell Britain's story, from the Norman
Conquest of 1066 to the present day. Combining the latest research
with accessible and entertaining story-telling, the series is the
ideal introduction for students and general readers.
