A Brief History of the Tudor Age

A Brief History of the Tudor Age by Jasper Ridley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is not a book about the Tudors. There is a brief summary of the dynasty and its history in the first chapter. But what this book does is basically study the Tudor age from the perspective of its people, their habits and their ordinary lives.

As such, this will not be the most entertaining book you've ever read, as it is basically a description of facts, rather than a description of actions.

That being said, it is a very well researched book, very well written, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is building a documentation on the age, either for the purpose of writing about it or for the sake of simple knowledge.
