Review - A good rounded overview for an A Level student, beginning to delve into some of the more complex issues. It also includes source exercises and sample essay questions for students to have a go at. It doesn't just look at the Tudor period itself, but also at what happened before it and how this impacted what the Tudors had to deal with and how they dealt with it.
