内容简介:
No period in British history has more resonance and mystery
today than the sixteenth century. New Worlds, Lost Worlds
brings the atmosphere and events of this great epoch to life.
Exploring the underlying religious motivations for the savage
violence and turbulence of the period-from Henry VIII's break with
Rome to the overwhelming threat of the Spanish Armada-Susan Brigden
investigates the actions and influences of such near-mythical
figures as Elizabeth I, Thomas More, Bloody Mary, and Sir Walter
Raleigh. Authoritative and accessible, New Worlds, Lost
Worlds, the latest in the Penguin History of Britain series,
provides a superb introduction to one of the most important,
compelling, and intriguing periods in the history of the Western
world.
This is a splendid piece of scholarship that engages the
reader's imagination; Brigden's (history, Lincoln Coll., Oxford)
extensive research has paid off in spades. While readers may find
themselves running to the OED to check words and concepts long
forgotten, the chase is worth it. The title hints at the lost
worlds of this dramatic era in Britain, beginning with the early
years of Henry VII and carrying forward through the fascinating
dynastic and religious struggles of Henry VIII; Mary, Queen of
Scots; and Elizabeth I. The book covers not only England but
Ireland, Scotland, and Wales as well, and scholars of this period
will come away with refreshing insights into this remarkable
period. General readers will be equally delighted because the
writing is so fluid and accessible. The chapter on social life and
customs, "Family and Friends," could stand alone as a single book
on Tudor times. Highly recommended for all academic and larger
public libraries. Gail Benjafield, St. Catharines P.L., Ont.

In many respects, the 16th is surely the most appealing of
English centuries--an age of extraordinary vitality, when the
intolerance that wrecked France was suppressed (almost everywhere
but in Ireland) by pragmatic Elizabethan moderation. Susan
Brigden's new work is the fifth entry in the nine-volume Penguin
History of Britain, a series that features a number of leading
lights (Kishlansky, Colley, Cannadine, etc.), and it provides a
spirited introduction to this fertile period. Political and
religious themes predominate, as befits a student of the late Sir
Geoffrey Elton, but the author avoids the brilliant turgidity of
her former teacher. Operating within the series' standard
conceptual framework (dynastic change shaping the structure, right
up until the fall of Mrs. Thatcher), Brigden writes with mature and
engaging sobriety. She is fully conscious of the oppressive
potential of English government, "whose superiority was "evident
only to the English," and gives substantial attention to the
disasters that befell the Irish. Indeed, her claim to speak "more
of kings, and queens, than cabbages" is a little self-deprecating.
The plight of the poor, prone to disease and catastrophic famine,
is rarely far from the surface; astonishingly, we learn that
one-third of the population of Norwich died during a plague
epidemic in 1579. Equal attention is paid to popular religion to
the lost world of English Catholicism, witch crazes and mystery
plays and to family life and friendship. This is a well-balanced if
fairly traditional history and will make for an ideal textbook when
it appears in paper.

"A fine survey of the Tudor century. Brigden aims to tell the
story "to those who don''t know it already," and she succeeds
brilliantly. She''s very strong on politics and religion, but also
has fascinating discursions of the intellectual life, from More''s
Utopia
to Marlowe''s
Faustus
."

"Susan Brigden has done a brilliant job of giving us a fresh
approach to the Tudor period. Although accessible to students, it
will also interest established scholars."
