Summary "London in the Time of the Tudors" by Sir Walter Besant is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the social, political, and architectural landscape of London during the Tudor period, highlighting significant events, figures, and cultural developments of the time. The book aims to provide readers with a vivid sense of life in London during this transformative era, detailing the influence of monarchs like Henry VII and Henry VIII, as well as the broader societal changes that took place. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the notable transition from the fifteenth to the sixteenth century, emphasizing the dramatic shifts in London’s sociopolitical environment following a long period of civil strife. It introduces Henry VII as a stabilizing figure who promised order and tranquility, contrasting with the tumultuous past. The author hints at the broader transformations on the horizon, including the beginnings of the English Reformation and the bittersweet tales of pretenders in the wake of Henry's ascension. Various significant episodes are outlined, such as the sweating sickness that followed Henry’s victory, establishing a somber atmosphere amidst the hope for new beginnings in Tudor London.
