Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, from the 16th century, provides a social, economic, and geographic description of England, Wales, and Scotland. The author, writing with the benefit of time spent in England as part of the entourage of a foreign ambassador, traveled throughout the British Isles, and gives an account of England on the cusp of major economic and political shifts. It presents in-depth analysis of the social significance of historical events, such as the Norman conquest, as well as the diversity of political and legal circumstances at play in various parts of the Isles, some of which are still evident today. The book also discusses how England became an economic powerhouse that influenced trade and politics across Europe during the Tudor era. Its insights offer essential reading for anyone interested in the development of the United Kingdom from disparate, warring territories to a global leader, and the social and cultural dynamics that accompanied those changes.
