Description:

The Tudor era welcomed a new dawn in education, spearheaded not least by Thomas More. Henry VIII’s one time favoured councillor insisted his daughters be properly schooled, and his eldest Margaret proved an especially able pupil. John Guy will tell of  her unique intellectual spirit, and how she advanced the notion of education for all, laying the grounds for the English Renaissance.
