Tudor and Stuart England

This course given by Scott Sowerby examines the formation of the English state during the Tudor and Stuart dynasties. We will explore changing patterns of religious belief, the transformation of the monarchy, the ascendancy of parliament, and the experiences of ordinary men and women. There are no required readings, but those who have read the excellent novels by Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies will have a head start.
