- Summary:
- Film can be an invaluable teaching resource. "Tudors and Stuarts on Film" provides analyses of films about the Tudor and Stuart period from leading historians. The accuracy of each film is assessed, and they are also placed within the context of the period in which they were made, and the influence they have had on popular conceptions of early modern England.
