The expansion of British overseas trade, spread of the British diplomatic influence & religious upheaval under the late Tudor monarchs with genealogical charts (Habsburgs & Tudors) on end papers, maps, index & notes.
Before the Armada focuses upon that period when England was reluctantly but finally abandoning her medieval ambition to hold & increase dominion in Europe, & moving out from her old continental preconceptions of the nature of the English destiny toward an insular policy based on sea power. Also examines the violent religious struggles of that period.
