<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Early Modern England, 1485--1714: A Narrative History is a lively, up-to-date survey of the Tudor--Stuart period. The narrative shows how England transformed itself from a feudal and relatively minor European state into a constitutional monarchy and the wealthiest and most powerful nation on Earth. The story of struggles over governmental and religious policies is enlivened by clear snapshots of how social and cultural changes affected ordinary English people at the beginning, middle, and end of the period. The authors also show how Irish, Scottish, and Welsh developments affected English history. This new edition takes into account of recent scholarship on Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, early modern London, as well as broader economic developments during the period, and gender and cultural life. A new preface addresses the issue of "periodization" and the book has been revised to enhance narrative flow and accessibility. Written by two leading scholars and experienced teachers of the subject, Early Modern England assumes no prior knowledge of English history. Student aids to the text include maps, illustrations, and genealogies, as well as expanded online resources"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The new, fully-updated edition of the popular introduction to the Tudor-Stuart period--offers fresh scholarship and improved readability.</b> </p> <p><i>Early Modern England 1485-1714 </i>is the market-leading introduction to the Tudor-Stuart period of English history.
