Publisher Description:

This is a collection of specially commissioned research essays by scholars on the government of Tudor England, designed as a tribute from a group of advanced students to their supervisor. Professor Sir Geoffrey Elton, to whom the volume is dedicated, is internationally celebrated, and the most influential living historian of the period. Each essay reflects the special interest of the author, within the broader theme of ‘Law and Government’. The book will be read by many who have been influenced by Professor Elton’s teaching, but who may not necessarily be students or historians of Tudor England.
