Description
Widely praised and consistently popular since its first publication in 1987, Early Modern England now reflects in this new edition the invigorating and substantial changes that have swept the field over the past decade and more. It combines consideration of more traditional concerns of social history with investigation of the newer items on the agenda of historians. The result is a masterly study, providing the only up-to-date interpretation available for the period.
