ISBN: 0415066727 ISBN-13: 9780415066723 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $152.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: December 1992 Annotation: Intellectual history has suffered in comparison to the institutional and political history of the Tudors in recent years, and this collection of essays is a concerted aim to redress the balance. It offers new departures by addressing a range of problems in Tudor statecraft and the workings of the state that have not previously been considered; by offering perspectives on the appropriate contexts for understanding Tudor political ideas, with particular emphasis on medieval anthropology and literary criticism, not usually practiced in this period. Combining the work of the Cambridge school' with the i Begriffsgeschichte /i (history of concepts) and using a wide variety of source material, this volume provides a strikingly innovative and cohesive group of essays. |

| Publisher Description: Shining new light onto an historically pivotal time, this book re-examines the Tudor commonwealth from a socio-political perspective and looks at its links to its own past. Each essay in this collection addresses a different aspect of the intellectual and cultural climate of the time, going beyond the politics of state into the underlying thought and tradition that shaped Tudor policy. Placing security and economics at the centre of debate, the key issues are considered in the context of medieval precedence and the wider European picture. |
