Tudor

“Tudor Empire has many virtues: combining the domestic and broader history of the Tudors, treating the entire dynasty’s history both in depth and in dialogue across to the decades, and linking the sixteenth century engagements to the later history of empire. In that last regard, this book offers an excellent first chapter to the history of the English Atlantic and to the later (and more familiar) iteration of the British Empire.”
