The second edition of this bestselling narrative history has been revised and expanded to incorporate recent scholarship, tracing England's transformation during the Tudor-Stuart period into a constitutional monarchy and one of the wealthiest nations on Earth. Written by two leading scholars and experienced educators, it assumes no prior knowledge of British history and includes student aids such as maps, illustrations, genealogies, and a glossary. This edition updates discussions on Henry VIII and the Civil War, while extending coverage of the Reformations, the Rump and Barebone's Parliament, Cromwell's settlement in Ireland, and the broader European, Scottish, and Irish contexts surrounding the Restoration and the Revolution of 1688-9. Notably, it introduces a new section on women's roles and the historiography of women and gender. Accompanied by "Sources and Debates in English History, 1485-1714," the work encourages further exploration and discussion through the authors' blog.
