Synopsis
This study of the Tudor epoch covers a time in Britain when great personalities ruled and there was much political and religious turmoil. Historian Brigden recounts the rule of Henry VII and Henry VII, and the rivalry between Mary Tudor and Elizabeth I--and she examines the meanings of the difficult transition from Catholicism to Protestantism.

Industry Reviews
"[Brigden] has written a book that is not only in masterfully control of its subject, but which is a thing of beauty and feeling....We shall not have to hesitate any longer when asked...to recommend just one book on the history of our own country in the 16th century."
London Review of Books - Patrick Collinson (03/22/2001)
"[A] brilliant work....Written with sustained panache, adorned with countless relishable quotations, [this book] will make a deep impression, and doubtless help to shape perceptions of the Tudor epoch for years to come."
Times Literary Supplement - Ralph Houlbrooke (12/08/2000)
