AnnaClaire: These two books cover the same period, but in different levels of detail. If you know absolutely nothing about the Tudors but wish you did, read The Tudors: A Very Short Introduction. If you know a bit about the Tudors and want to know more, read Tudor England.… (mehr)
Readable and informative. In fact more than an 'introduction' unless you mean to dig into the lives of these kings and queens fairly deeply. (And the title doesn't lie: it's really more about the royal Tudors than about Tudor England in general.) ( )
The first chapter is on economics and was difficult to follow. It might have been easier to follow if it had come at the end of the book rather than at the beginning. We then go through the Tudor monarchs reign by reign. I felt the author was trying to cram too much into what was billed as a short introduction, making it difficult to follow. The approach worked better with Henry VIII and Elizabeth I where he sensibly confined himself to a few topics from long reigns. Tempted by their shorter reigns perhaps, he tried to fit everything into the accounts of the other monarchs, which left me disorientated. I would have liked to hear more about Mary I, in particular.

Yet the late Elizabethan legacy of meagre public revenue and governmental malaise was ultimately reversed only by the events of the Civil War and Interregnum.
