Overview
- Breaks new ground by confronting the chronological and geographical constraints of traditional Tudor Studies and Imperial History
- Traces the entangled histories of national consolidation, identity formation, monarchical rule, and territorial expansion from the Bosworth battlefield to Sir Walter Ralegh’s Guiana, illuminating larger stories
- Tells a series of fascinating smaller stories along the way, including Henry VII’s manipulation of Arthurian legend, the power and promise of Sir Thomas More’s Utopia, and the Elizabethan plot to settle Britain’s first protestant pilgrims in North America
