A History of England from the Tudors to the Stuarts by Robert O. Bucholz
5.0
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! :)
