"Europe is in crisis. The events of the past few years have had a major effect on our perception of the European past and now we have to come to terms with it. Familiar themes from history have emerged to haunt us again - themes such as nationalism, separatism and the balance of power." "In Britain these considerations about the relationship of the present to the past have been lent added force by recent developments in the Community. Questions have again been asked about Britain's role in the world and about the background to her role with Europe. How close were those relations in the past? To what extent was England's historical development peculiar to herself? To what extent has the Channel been a barrier between the British Isles and Europe - 'a moat defensive to a house' as John of Gaunt put it?" "Such are the questions which in their different ways open up the historical perspectives on contemporary preoccupations; and they are all questions to which historians can offer a variety of insights and explanations. In England in Europe 1066-1453, thirteen leading medieval historians consider the issues confronting Europe today in a perspective provided by a study of the Middle Ages - the time when England's links with the Continent were transformed."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

England and her Neighbours is a collection of essays discussing England's external relations during the Middle Ages that have been collected in honour of the late Pierre Chaplais. These articles trace the progress of English political relations with a number of European nations, including Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and Iberia, as well as relations during the Hundred Years War (1137-1453). In doing so, this volume draws attention to a range of valuable source material and creates a fascinating survey from the battle of Hastings in 1066 to the end of the Hundred Years War in 1453.

Medieval England presents the political and cultural development of English society from the Norman Conquest to the end of the Wars of the Roses. It is a story of change, progress, setback, and consolidation, with England emerging as a wealthy and stable country, many of whose essential features were to remain unchanged until the Industrial Revolution. Edmund King traces his chronicle through the lives of successive monarchs, the inescapable central thread of that epoch. The momentous events of the times are also recreated, from the compiling of the Domesday Book, through the wars with the Scots, the Welsh, and the French, to the Peasants' Revolt and the disastrous Black Death.

This book provides a thematic survey of English foreign policy in the sixteenth century, focusing on the influence of the concept of honour, security concerns, religious ideology and commercial interests on the making of policy. It draws attention to aspects of continuity with the late-medieval past but argues, too, that the European Reformation brought new challenges which forced a rethinking of policy. Far from treating the sixteenth century as the period when England began its rise as a Great Power, the author emphasises the structural weaknesses of the English armed forces and demonstrates that dangers and insecurities did more to mould foreign policy than the energy and confidence of the Tudor rulers.

This volume extends the 'British Isles' approach pioneered by Robin Frame and Rees Davies to the later middle ages. Through examination of issues such as frontier formation, colonial identities and connections with the wider world it explores whether this period saw the bonds between the British Isles weaken, strengthen, or simply alter.

This new study of Tudor international relations is the first in nearly thirty years. Adopting a fresh approach to the subject, this lively collection presents the work of a team of established and younger scholars who discuss how the Tudor monarchs made sense of the world beyond England's shores. Taking account of recent developments in cultural, gender and institutional history, the contributors analyse the important changes and continuities in England's foreign policy during the Tudor age. Tudor England and its Neighbours addresses key questions such as: - Did Henry VII break with the past by pursuing peace with France? - What was the impact of the break with Rome and the introduction of Protestantism on England's relations with other countries? - Was war between Elizabethan England and Spain inevitable? Using new evidence and reinterpreting traditional narratives, these essays illuminate the complexities and the sometimes surprising subtleties of England's international relations between 1485 and 1603.
