[edit] BRIEF HISTORY OF THE TUDOR AGE
Beginning with the arrival of Henry Tudor and his army in 1485, at Milford, and ending with the death of Elizabeth I in 1603, this is an account contrasting the life of palaces, grand tournaments and English drama with the harshness of peasant life and the misery of the Plague.
Beginning with the arrival of Henry Tudor and his army, at Milford in 1485, and ending with the death of the great Queen, Elizabeth I, in 1603, this is an expert account of a hugely eventful and contradictory age, by acclaimed historian Jasper Ridley. The author draws together all the strands of Tudor social life into a rich tapestry displaying every aspect of the times. Here is life in London and in the country, the costumes, furniture and food, sports and pastimes, the glittering palaces, grand tournaments and the wonderful flowering of English drama, juxtaposed with the stultifying narrowness of peasant life, terrible roads, a vast underclass, the harsh treatment of heretics and traitors, and the misery of the Plague. The result is an astonishing picture of an England of great beauty and violence, achievement and despair.
