England Under the Tudors

In England, as in France and Germany, the main characteristic of the last

twenty years, from the point of view of the student of history, has been

that new material has been accumulating much faster than it can be

assimilated or absorbed. The standard histories of the last generation need

to be revised, or even to be put aside as obsolete, in the light of the new

information that is coming in so rapidly and in such vast bulk. But the

students and researchers of to-day have shown little enthusiasm as yet for

the task of re-writing history on a large scale. We see issuing from the

press hundreds of monographs, biographies, editions of old texts,

selections from correspondence, or collections of statistics, mediaeval and

modern. But the writers who (like the late Bishop Stubbs or Professor

Samuel Gardiner) undertake to tell over again the history of a long period,

with the aid of all the newly discovered material, are few indeed.
