Few periods of English history have been so subject to `revisionism' as the Tudors and Stuarts. This volume offers a full introduction to the complex historiographical debates currently raging about politics and religion in early modern England. It * draws together thirteen articles culled from familiar and also less accessible sources * embraces revisionist and counter-revisionist viewpoints * combines controversial works on both politics and religion * covers Tudor as well as early Stuart England * includes helpful glossary; explanatory headnotes and suggestions for further reading. These carefully edited and introduced essays draw on the new evidence of newsletters and ballads and ritual; as well as the more traditional sources; to offer a new and broader understanding of this transformative era of English history.

You see...we're descendants of one of the families that fled during the massacre at Rosewood; Florida.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Lacocchee todayBy Rita BrunoExtraordinary research; story written beautifully and with deep insight into the motives of the various players. Sadly the town of Lacoochee still struggles along; mired in poverty once the great mill went silent; and with apparently no understanding into how badly it was used by the Cummer family. Personally I think reparations are due. Sadly also the old Southern racial codes continue to apply. You need only reach your hand out to touch the legacy of Rosewood.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good history; thought provokingBy Robert M. SnellThis book is a valuable account of an incredible and sad incident in 1920's Florida. It is well researched and written; and covers the actual incident at Rosewood and the re-emergence of the case decades later as well as can be done. Unfortunately; the amount of written record and oral memories which were available to the author was limited After reading the book; one is left wishing that more information was possible; especially about the actual attack on the town of Rosewood; which only occupies a few pages. Still; more details come out as the book progresses; and one is left with a good overall feel for the story as a whole.The author's biases show on occasion; taking every opportunity to show his distaste for Florida "crackers" then and now and his admiration for liberal lawyers; but on the whole; is a reasonably balanced account. It is a vivid portrait of the times and the overt dangers to those who happened to be black in the south in the 1920's and beyond. A recommended read.
