About This Novel
"The Six-Part History of England" is the representative work of the historical writer Peter Ackroyd, which includes six volumes: "The Founding of the Empire", "The Tudor Dynasty", "The Age of Rebellion", "The Revolutionary Century", "The King of the World" and "Revolution". It writes the historical process of this legendary country in a magnificent way: how this once closed island country gradually turned into an empire with territories all over the world through religious reform, parliamentary system, technological and ideological revolution, as well as trade and colonial expansion; and how it repositioned itself in the new post-war order as the empire declined today and continued to influence the world. Ackroyd's writing conveys his deep attachment to this country that once stood at the apex of human civilization. It not only creates a history of struggle and innovation for the rise of a great power, but also creates a glorious national epic. "The Tudors" is the second volume of Ackroyd's "Six Parts of History of England", covering the historical period from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I when England was mainly ruled by the Tudor family. This volume mainly discusses the religious reform caused by Henry VIII's break with the Roman Church, and the struggle between the English monarchy and the change of the state religion during this period. Under Ackroyd's fascinating writing, the resolute Henry VIII, the short-lived Edward VI, the "Bloody Mary" who tried to restore Catholicism, and the Elizabeth I who created the "golden age", the magnificent life of the Tudor Dynasty comes to life on the page.
