Tudor Rebellions, now in its seventh edition, gives a chronological account of the major rebellions against the Tudor monarchy in England from the reign of King Henry VII until the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. The book throws light on some of the main themes of Tudor history, including the dynasty's attempt to bring the north and west under the control of the capital, the progress of the English Reformation and the impact of inflation, taxation and enclosure on society, and makes comparisons with the other Tudor realm of Ireland. This new edition has been revised once more to take into account the exciting and innovative work on the subject in recent years and bring the historiographical debates right up to date. The primary sources, alongside the narrative history, allow students to fully explore these turbulent times, seeking to understand what drove Tudor people to rebel and what sort of people were inclined to do so. In doing so, the book considers both 'high' and 'low' politics, and the concerns of both the noble and the unprivileged in Tudor society. With supplementary materials including a chronology, who's who and guide to further reading along with a selection of maps and images, Tudor Rebellions is an invaluable resource for all students of Tudor history.… (meer)
Tudor Rebellions by Anthony Fletcher. Brilliant little history textbook published in the Seminar Studies in History series. It covers the major rebellions during the reins of HenryVII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. There are a couple of introductory chapters setting out the Tudor mindset and then a chapter each to the rebellions. These start with an account of the rebellion and are followed by an analysis of why they took place, all of course were unsuccessful in their objectives. There are maps and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources, but there are also transcriptions of some original documents that serve to put students right in touch with the history that is going on here. It is a first stop for anybody interested in The Pilgrimage of Grace, The Western Rebellion, Kett’s rebellion, Wyatt’s rebellion and the Northern Rebellions.
The book was first published in 1968 and so will not take into account the latest research on the rebellions, but they are a solid and reliable introduction. People approaching this book would gain more if they have some previous knowledge of the period as the essays are too succinct to introduce all the characters involved. For me a Five star read. ( )
