"A History of England from the Tudors to the Stuarts" Prof. Robert Bucholz (48 Lectures / 30 Minutes Per Lecture / 24x CD - The Great Courses)
A History of England from the Tudors to the Stuarts is a comprehensive 48-lecture historical series exploring the dramatic evolution of early modern Britain from 1485 to 1714. Taught by Professor Robert Bucholz of Loyola University Chicago, the curriculum meticulously traces how a remote medieval island transformed into a global constitutional powerhouse. The lectures bypass basic court gossip to examine systemic political, religious, and economic upheavals, including the English Reformation, the Civil War, and the Glorious Revolution. By blending elite political history with the gritty social realities of plagues, fires, and urban growth, the course provides an essential framework for understanding the origins of modern Western democracy.
