Description: Crowns faltered. Conscience burned bright. Across sixteenth century England, from the death of Henry VIII to the accession of James VI of Scotland to the English throne, James Pettit Andrews follows a kingdom in suspense: the henry viii succession crisis, the uneasy reigns that followed, and the shaping of a new political order. Rooted in meticulous scholarship yet written as a classic narrative history book, it places Tudor England history within the wider drama of early modern British history, where reformation and religious conflict, court intrigue, and emerging state power collide. Composed as a direct continuation of Dr Henrys History of Britain and on the same plan, this volume offers a coherent bridge from the late medieval world into the dawn of the union of crowns era. It stands as both an illuminating reference book for historians and a rewarding companion for university level history study, while remaining accessible to any reader drawn to Elizabethan England politics and the great turning-points of the age. A cornerstone for any tudor history classics collection, it speaks to casual enthusiasts of sixteenth century England as much as to serious collectors. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for todays and future generations. More than a reprint - a collectors item and a cultural treasure.
