This if the first time I’ve really gotten this whole storyline straight and it’s exciting stuff with lots of political & personal intrigue. The only curious omission was any mention of the song “I'm Henry VIII I Am.” Too political? Oh well “Let them eat cake!!”

Great stuff. Included free with an audible membership and I wasn't expecting to be so compelled by it. Nice easy entry to history but really comprehensive and probably something I'll listen to again.

He "lectures" on not just the political and religious history of England and Britian of this time period but also about the lives of the common people. It really made me want to read, hear and learn more.

This is the second lecture series I've listened to by Professor Bucholz. This is another fantastic course that gives a good balance between being a survey course covering many years of British history with sharing specifics and integrating a sense of the everyday for all of the people living through these time periods. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys studying British culture and history.

Fantastic! I read this as a sort of "part two" to "The Story Of Medieval England from King Arthur To The Tudor Conquest" (Great Courses #8410) by Jennifer Paxton.
I loved these lectures. Professor Bucholz is a very engaging lecturer, and I loved to hear him make semi-private comments to himself -- a sort of comedic, Shakespearian aside. Hilarious.
I appreciated the breadth of his lectures; not only did he go over what was happening with the kings and other "power people", but he also took time to analyze the life of the theoretical common man and woman. He did a great job at giving voice to some of the marginalized factions of English history and society.
It was also nice to have a few lectures on what was happening in the humanities during the eras covered in the lectures. Professor Bucholz wove it all together in an exciting, interesting, and memorable way.
I'm getting very excited for my London trip! :)
