Index


The Tudors, under whose able guidance England magnificently to great occasions and experienced something of a Golden Age. have long captivated the popular imagination. But the fierce light that beats upon the throne hat tended, In our own vulgarizing age. a little to resemble those arc lamps of the society photographer which catch the subject with glazed eye and In immobile posture. Professor Bindoff shows the England which the first Tudor so dubiously claimed, and the last handed over so securely to her successor, as o living and growing society In which each problem presented the possibility of various solutions and no conclusion was, to contemporaries, foregone.

In taking the reader back to the sixteenth-century scene he has preserved for him the excitement of living history with a future still to be made.
`Unobtrusively learned, sympathetic, and with wit to drive its wisdom home, this book will at once delight the layman and open to the specialist new lines of thought. It deserves to become a classic`
-R. H. Tawney in the Guardian.
**********

The author sets the scene with a picture of the England of the late 15th century and examines the utterly different personalities and achievements of Henry VII and his flamboyant son Henry VIII. Subsequent chapters provide accounts of the great crisis over the succession and papal supremacy, the religious revolution and counter-revolution under Edward VI and Mary and the dawn of Elizabethan England. Although great events like the conflict with Mary Queen of Scots, and the defeat of the Spanish Armada are described in detail, this book never neglects the deeper issues, indeed, its stress on the underlying social, commercial and institutional developments makes clear just how far the foundations of modern Britain were laid in the 16th century.
