Sources and Debates in English History 1485-1714 by Newton Key

mousieta's review against another edition

4.0

I really, REALLY enjoyed this book. It does seem more of a textbook but it is incredibly readable and enjoyable. It is an in depth and thorough look at the Tudor and Stuart dynasties and how the affected England and the modern world. You learn, not only of the big events, the kings, their wars and struggles, but also how those events shaped the lives of those who lived through that time. How society changed, how it overcame the tensions and struggles as England shifted from the medieval to the modern - with far reaching consequences that touch us to this very day.

This is going to be a resource I turn to for quite a while -
