pp. 144, black and white and color plates and illustrations throughout. Book in vg condition, binding clean and tight, dustjacket has a few chips and tears, wrapped in protective bro-dart covering. “Walter Hodges, in tracing the astonishing flowering of the Tudor period, lays emphasis on two events, both of which took place in 1485. First, the printer William Caxton published Sir Thomas Malory’s ‘Morte d’Arthure,’ and second, the Battle of Bosworth brought Henry VII to the throne. The civil wars were ended, prosperity was possible, and the English could dream, with Malory, of the ideal past of Arthurian England, a past their new confidence made them sure they could re-establish, even surpass.”
