Reviews

Death and Disorder is a lucid, well-organized, and well-written account of the period. Written for a North American audience, it introduces students to the concept of historical revisionism and debate, even while presenting a good textbook survey of the basics. - Victor L. Stater, Louisiana State University Ken MacMillan's Death and Disorder is an excellent pedagogical resource organized around accounts of executions, assassinations, and massacres from Tudor and Stuart England. The thoughtfully selected primary sources are situated within their broader social, political, and historical contexts, enabling students to appreciate their complexity. Thematically engaging and accessibly written, this book provides a compelling introduction to a fascinating period of English history. - Charity Urbanski, University of Washington MacMillan makes clever use of the themes of death and disorder to redefine the Tudor and Stuart era and also to reveal how their thematic opposites - life and order - unfolded and emerged over the course of two tumultuous centuries. The narrative is lively and informative and will appeal to students in search of a sound but manageable introduction to the period. - Greg T. Smith, University of Manitoba
