This is a solid, detailed academic history of Britain in the Early Modern period.

[Russell Sieben · Rating 5 out of 5]

Roger Lockyer is considered as one of the premier Tudor and Stuart historians, and this fourth edition of his history of the period proves this. The fourth addition includes much more material on the reign of Mary I and Phillip II and the interregnum of the Commonwealth and Protectorate. Fully recommended as an introduction to the period. The bibliography and recommended further reading sections are sublime.

[Philip Cook · Rating 5 out of 5]

Under a vast series of headings the basic laws and lives of the period are explained. It will become a reference book that I will continue to use in the future study of this period's history. Each situation, reason for, military and parliamentary decision etc., is written in such a manner that even an aspiring undergraduate can understand.

I will probably use more Roger Lockyer books in my early modern research. It covers just about everything you would need. The textbook format can be suffocating in its broadness, but it contains the necessary specificity.

[Lauren Albert · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good overview which seems very much a text for a college course. It is not dumbed down or filled with useless "study questions" but seems like an excellent beginner's book or a review book for someone who hasn't studied the period in a while. Solid with no novelties or surprises.

Another A-Level book read mainly for the Stuarts, not the Tudors... who I have come to again quite recently.

[Scott · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this book for a history class at the University of Texas. My copy is old and musty and feels just right in your hands.

Oh yeah, the contents aren't bad either!
