Publisher Description
Bestselling author Ian Mortimer created a runaway hit–and put “medieval history back in the hands of ordinary readers” (Daily Telegraph)–with The Time Traveler’s Guide to Medieval England. In this follow-up, Mortimer explores the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. A golden age of maritime heroes like Sir Walter Raleigh and writers such as Shakespeare, Elizabethan England was also an era of violence, famine, and religious persecution. But for all these trials, Elizabeth’s subjects settled America, circumnavigated the globe, and laid the groundwork for the modern world.

“Time travelers would be lucky to find a destination even
half as fascinating as Elizabethan England. With this guide, modern readers can
take an imaginary temporal leap back to the bustling life of a nation almost
bursting with change. More educational and entertaining than any formal
history.”—
