書籍簡介

Histories of the Unexpected系列不僅呈現了一種思考過去的新方式，也展現了我們周圍從未有過的世界。傳統上，都鐸王朝都被簡單地理解，但如果你用一種意想不到的方式來理解它的歷史，這個時期就會變得生動起來。是的，都鐸王朝、探索和宗教有着一段迷人的歷史…但是，同類相食、萎縮、鈴鐺、帽子、鏡子、怪物、面孔、書信和意外事故也是如此!每一門課程都有其獨特的魅力，每一門課程都為我們自認為熟知的傳統課程和主題提供了新的視角。

The Histories of the Unexpected series not only presents a new way of thinking about the past, but also reveals the world around us as never before. Traditionally, the Tudors have been understood in a straightforward way but the period really comes alive if you take an unexpected approach to its history. Yes, Tudor monarchs, exploration and religion have a fascinating history . . . but so too do cannibalism, shrinking, bells, hats, mirrors, monsters, faces, letter-writing and accidents! Each of these subjects is equally fascinating in its own right, and each sheds new light on the traditional subjects and themes that we think we know so well.
