Summary

This collection draws together a fascinating selection of sources to illuminate this turbulent era of English history. From the bloody overthrow of Richard III in 1485, to the creation of a worldwide imperial state under Queen Anne, these sources illustrate England's difficult transition from the medieval to the modern. Divided into two parts, the first set of documents provides a political context to help interpret the reformation, regicide, restoration and revolution, which occurred in tumultuous succession. The second set of documents is devoted to these upheavals, and reveals the politics in action that shaped their course. Covering a period characterized by conflict and division, this wide-ranging single-volume collection presents the accounts of Yorkists and Lancastrians, Protestants and Catholics, and Roundheads and Cavaliers side by side.
