Kurzbeschreibung
Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: ENGLAND UNDER THE TUDORS INTRODUCTION THE TUDOR PERIOD, 1485-1608 THE historian of the future will, perhaps, affirm that the nine- An era of teenth century, with the last years of the eighteenth, has?e™lu" been a period more fraught with momentous events in the development of the nations than any equal period since the Christian era commenced. Yet striking as are the developments witnessed by the last four generations, the years when England was ruled by Princes of the House of Tudor have a history hardly if at all less momentous. For though what we call the Tudor period, from Ijt85 to 1603,i8 determined by a merely dynastic title"afltectlng England alone, the reign of that dynasty happens to coincide in point of Jtime with JfogreateJejtoria] r£volutionojxr£CQrd, a religious revolution unparalleled since the rise nf n""inteTlecfuaI activity to match which we must go back to the great days of Hellas, or forward to the nineteenth century: revolutions all of them not specifically English, but affecting- immediately every nation in Europe; while one of them extended itself to every continent on the globe. Moreover, the accompanying social revolution, though comparatively superficial, was only a little less marked than the others. Nor was there any country in Europe more influenced by the general Revolution in any one of its aspects than England. Nihil per saltum is no doubt as true of historical movements as of physical evolution. Before Columbus sighted Hispaniola, Portuguese sailors had told tales of some vast island seen by them far in the west. Botticelli had passed out of Filippo Lippi's school, and Leonardo was thirty, before Raphael was born; the printing press had reached England, and Greek had been re-discovered, in the last years of the previous " period " ; the ...

History makes history

This is like the history text books we had in the 1950's, which it may have been.
Pure unadorned text. No concessions to short attention spans here.
I read it on my Ipad however and was able to switch to Wikipedia for analysis, pictures and maps as the mood took me. Wonderful stuff.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and can heartily recommend it.
You don't have to take my word for it either. Google the author's name and read a review written when it was first published, 1938.

sloppily done
17. Dezember 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Sorry to seem unkind, however I was very disappointed in this. From the cover I expected a professionally done book. What I received ( and I wish I had read other reviews before ordering) is a scanned in, sometimes crooked, poorly produced door stop.

The format of this book as downloaded made it almost impossible to read. The original was of a very dated style with marginal notes that proved impossible to accomodate in the ebook format. You should remove it, I found it close to unreadable, certainly totally annoying in navigating the main text.
