Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Readable and informative. In fact more than an 'introduction' unless you mean to dig into the lives of these kings and queens fairly deeply. (And the title doesn't lie: it's really more about the royal Tudors than about Tudor England in general.) ( ) The first chapter is on economics and was difficult to follow. It might have been easier to follow if it had come at the end of the book rather than at the beginning. We then go through the Tudor monarchs reign by reign. I felt the author was trying to cram too much into what was billed as a short introduction, making it difficult to follow. The approach worked better with Henry VIII and Elizabeth I where he sensibly confined himself to a few topics from long reigns. Tempted by their shorter reigns perhaps, he tried to fit everything into the accounts of the other monarchs, which left me disorientated. I would have liked to hear more about Mary I, in particular. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
