| Publisher Description: Many nations go through periods of great cultural or social change. During the latter half of the fourteenth century, and the entirety of the fifteenth, England went through such a period of change. Out of the ashes of tragedy an English phoenix was able to rise. This period radically transformed England from a feudal aristocracy to a thriving mercantilist society, sowed the seeds of the Protestant Reformation, and laid the foundations of the British Empire. |
