Death and Disorder
A History of Early Modern England, 1485-1690
Ken MacMillan
MacMillan introduces students of history to the world of 16th- and 17th-century England through the overarching theme of a “crisis of mortality,” covering the untimely ends of kings, queens, advisors, treasonous nobles, religious heretics, and common criminals, in the midst of devastating plagues, a high rate of infant mortality, violence on the battlefield, and attempts to conquer New World Indigenous Peoples.
