Cinematic . . . No one who reads this book will ever see Tudor and Stuart history in the same light again' JOHN GUY, LITERARY REVIEW'Many books claim to be a new way of looking at history, but this book truly is' FINANCIAL TIMESThe prize-winning author uncovers the revelatory global story of Tudor and Stuart England - told through the merchants, migrants, sailors, travellers and spies who helped forge a nation.The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries forged a powerful image of England Shakespeares scepterd isle, proud and apart, defined by royal spectacle and myth. But beneath this familiar narrative of ruffs and gowns, kings and queens, lies a more complex and connected reality.England at this time was far from insular. Travelling in and out of the country were Venetian glassmakers with English wives, African innkeepers and Native American envoys. There were people like the Flemish artist Levina Teerlinc, probably the only painter to be employed by four English monarchs. There was William Adams, a Kentish navigator who became Japan's first English samurai. And there was Elizabeth Key, daughter of an enslaved mother in the colony in Virginia, who battled in the courts for herself and her son.Drawing on extensive archival research, attentive to the textures of daily life, yet alive to the sweep of history, This Little World offers a startlingly new, globally resonant vision of Englands past and what it meant to be English. It is a story of a nation in the making on the cusp of empire told through the traces of those often written out of it. In reframing Englands story within a wider world, it challenges us to rethink some of our most fundamental ideas: about nationhood, about identity, and above all, about belonging. A bold new history of Tudor and Stuart England told not through its monarchs, but through the people crossing its borders: merchants and migrants, sailors and spies, pilgrims and exiles.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing of Nandini Das's This Little World: A New History of Tudor and Stuart England, published by Bloomsbury, London, in 2026. Original hardback in the publisher's illustrated dust jacket. ISBN 9781526669650. 448 pages. An ambitious and beautifully illustrated reassessment of Tudor and Stuart England by the award-winning historian Nandini Das. Rather than presenting early modern England as an isolated island dominated solely by monarchs, courtiers and familiar national myths, Das reconstructs a remarkably interconnected world populated by merchants, migrants, sailors, diplomats, artists, travellers and spies. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book follows figures ranging from Venetian craftsmen and African residents of England to Native American visitors, the Flemish painter Levina Teerlinc, William Adams, the English navigator who reached Japan, and Elizabeth Key in colonial Virginia. Through these individual lives, Das explores how ideas of Englishness, identity, migration and belonging developed during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as England moved towards empire. Bloomsbury describes the work as a global reconsideration of what it meant to be English during this formative period. A highly readable work of serious scholarship, extensively illustrated and particularly attractive to readers interested in Tudor and Stuart history, early modern Europe, migration, cultural exchange, colonial history and the origins of the British Empire. This is the UK first edition and first printing, confirmed by the copyright page and complete number line ending in 1. Near Fine hardcover in a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book is clean, bright and tightly bound, with no writing, highlighting or ownership markings visible. Pages and illustrated sections are clean and well preserved. The original dust jacket is complete and presents very well, showing only light handling and minor edge/corner wear. No major tears or significant damage visible. Please see the seller photographs, which show the actual copy offered for sale. …
