Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 5 page comparison of Susan Brigden’s text “New Worlds, Lost Worlds: The Rule of the Tudors 1485-1603” and the film “Elizabeth”. Susan Brigden’s text “New Worlds, Lost Worlds: The Rule of the Tudors 1485-1603” gives a broad historical account of the Tudor era in England during its almost 120 year rule throughout the 15th to early 17th centuries. Brigden’s background knowledge on the Reformation in England at that time is effective but perhaps not properly displayed in her text as much of the religious and political detail was excluded in lieu of the inclusion of selections of poetry and prose from the era to provide the book with more depth and color. Overall, the effect was not well received by the critics who craved more historical detail. The film “Elizabeth” directed by Shekhar Kapur, on the other hand, provides a more in depth look at the political but somewhat more personal details of Elizabeth’s reign from 1558 until her death and the end of the Tudors in 1603. The images portrayed in the film show the often gritty side of the religious fervor which shook Tudor England outside of the political elite emphasized in Brigden’s book. Audiences must be aware however that artistic license may be more in effect in “Elizabeth” however than within Brigden’s historical text but taken together “New Worlds, Lost Worlds” provides a good background for the reign of Elizabeth brought to life in the film “Elizabeth”.

"Elizabeth" directed by Shekhar Kapur, on the other hand, provides a more in depth look at the political but somewhat more personal details of Elizabeths reign from 1558 until her
death and the end of the Tudors in 1603. The images portrayed in the film show the often gritty side of the religious fervor which shook Tudor England outside of
the political elite emphasized in Brigdens book. Audiences must be aware however that artistic license may be more in effect in "Elizabeth" however than within Brigdens historical text but taken
together "New Worlds, Lost Worlds" provides a good background for the reign of Elizabeth brought to life in the film "Elizabeth". In the
preface of her book, author Susan Brigden confesses to the broad nature of her book "New Worlds, Lost Worlds: The Rule of the Tudors 1485-1603" in that she does not
give detailed or inside information in regards to many aspects of the Tudor era including "the constitution, governmental institutions, the working of Parliament or the Privy Council, the institutional church
and the clergy, the economy, trade and agriculture, or ordinary people" (Sharpe, 2001, p. 54; Brigden, 2000). While Brigdens book also does not deal with several other historically significant elements
