The period of 1460-1660 was one of the most dramatic and crucially formative in the emergence of the modern English state, language, and self-consciousness. Beginning with the Wars of the Roses and ending with the Civil Wars and Republic, this book argues for a creative unity in this 200-year period, and provides both an up-to-date narrative of the growth of the English state and a historiographical background to each major issue that will facilitate further study of the period.
