Synopsis

Book by Lee Christopher

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Christopher Lee has made a good job of a decent year (Daily Telegraph)

He brings his subject alive and more than amply justifies his choice of 1603 as a critical year in our history (Daily Mail)

It is to his credit that we cannot but conclude that 1603 was a very big year, indeed just like 1066 (Daily Mail)

Lee makes extensive use of period documents, capturing the prevailing attitudes and use of language, and reveals that much in English behavior remains unchanged (Independent on Sunday)

I enjoyed it all, but rather against my better judgement (Literary Review)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

1603 was the great step-change in British history: the year that Queen Elizabeth I died and the monarchy passed from the Tudors to the Stuarts, from the house of Henry VIII to James VI of Scotland who ruled as James I of England. It was also the year the Black Death returned, killing some 30,000 out of a population of 4 million. This is the story of both the history makers - Elizabeth, James, Robert Cecil, Shakespeare, Galileo - and of the common people; of turmoil in the Church, State-sponsored piracy and the establishment of new trade routes.
