Reviews for Taxation Under the Early Tudors 1485 - 1547
"A truly remarkable piece of work. The book is authoritative and will never be bettered, and for this reason it deserves a place in the library of any institution in which Tudor history is taught or researched." Journal of Modern History "The scholarly world is greatly indebted to [Schofield's] decision to publish this important study on tudor taxation under Henry VII and Henry VIII." EH-Net Reviews "An invaluable guide to the parliamentary taxation of the period. All users of the tax records of the earlier Tudors will need to consult this lucid and informative monograph, an essential work of reference and guide to the records themselves." Northern Historian "This study provides a challenge for future scholars to use taxation as a source material to gain insight into how and why a society can coalesce to support public benefit over private gain- and, whenit fails, why." Renaissance Quarterly "A monumental study of abiding value that all those who use the early Tudor taxation returns will ignore at their peril." Local Populations Studies
